Ashley Budtke is a Lead Member Of Technical Staff at athenahealth at athenahealth. They possess expertise in java, agile methodologies, programming, git, web applications and 25 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "Ashley is a fantastic person to work with. Ashley always keeps best practices in mind, both in system and architecture design as well as when implementing code. Testing and TDD are high passion points for her, and sure enough by following her approach to writing tests, I have find joy in writing tests. This was something I never would have thought possible before working with Ashley. Her work ethic is inspirational, she shows up every day and gives her all, producing quality code quickly and efficiently. Her code reviews are invaluable, it is always a growth opportunity to have your code reviewed by her. She gives great feedback, and her attention to detail means she'll often catch things no one else would. Ashley is a fantastic mentor and coach as well, I've seen numerous engineers grow under her tutelage. She often gets stuck with interviewing because she is so good at seeing potential in people, and nurturing that potential. She extends this knowledge across an organization as well, presenting on Testing Best Practices and joining in book clubs discussing DevOps concepts. I truly believe there's nothing Ashley couldn't do should she set her mind to it. If you ever have an opportunity to work with her, take it." and "Ashley was my mentor during my internship at athenahealth. She was one of the reasons I felt like I clicked with the environment. We would have near-daily check-ins where she would ask about my progress and help guide me through any roadblocks I encountered. She never made me feel like I was imposing when I had questions and was always genuine in her interactions with me and the others on the team. She listened to my ideas and provided great, actionable feedback. Ashley’s solid technical knowledge helped me accomplish the goals I had for my internship: gaining experience in new skills and tools, and gaining a deeper understanding of concepts that I was already familiar with. For example, when explaining the layered architectural design of APIs, she also discussed why the design was used and how the modularity made it easier to test and maintain the layers. She expanded my knowledge of version control and its conventions by guiding me through examples in my project. She also co-led a workshop session on testing design and best practices, emphasizing the importance of proper testing and encouraging me to try my hand at test-driven design. Ashley recognized my strengths, supported me in my areas of development, and encouraged me to go above and beyond in my work at athenahealth."
