Colleagues describe them as "I almost feel silly writing a recommendation for Kelly because I'm pretty sure everyone already knows how amazing he is. BUT I'M DOING IT ANYWAYS!!! I've worked with Kelly in two organizations now: Simple and Splice. And in both organizations Kelly has been instrumental in completely transforming the state of SRE, bringing forth excellence where before there was only chaos. Kelly KNOWS how to build an incident response organization. Observability, alerts, pager rotations, playbooks – he can stand this up from nothing. I've seen him do this twice. Kelly does all of this with an unmatched sense of kindness, inclusiveness, and empathy. Engineers will actually want to be on-call because Kelly designs the organization to be supportive, blameless, and empowering. Kelly is wonderful, and I hope I get to work with him again in the future. Until then I will try to emulate all I've learned by watching him.", "Kelly is a rare technology professional that you want on your team. Right now. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about a myriad of modern stacks, infra, technologies, principles and methodologies, but he also has natural leadership capabilities. Kelly leads by example and continuously drives forward, with high focus and value in educating and evangelizing, and energizing all folks he interacts with, whether they are his colleagues or are in leadership. Kelly was an excellent working partner, and over the time we worked together at Splice, were able to see through a number of positive transformations in the Production Engineering organization: CI/CD improvements, creation of full end-to-end ephemeral environments, numerous software updates, the introduction of many key cross-org events focused on giving foundational clarity to the overall technology organization on potential improvement opportunities, strategies on addressing and paying down on technical debt, and much much more. If given the opportunity, I would work with Kelly again in an instant.", and "Kelly is one of the most insightful and analytical engineers I've EVER had the honor of having on my team. His ability to translate complex engineering challenges into understandable business concerns allowed our organization to make the right bets on which technical problems to solve first and how. Kelly excels at being supportive of others while striving for technical excellence, and his passion for sharing his knowledge to others didn't go unnoticed. His contributions to Splice, like the evolution of our Elastic Search cluster, or the overhaul of our CI/CD infrastructure allowed our organization to be successful and continue to deliver services and tools to musicians all around the world. Kelly rocks 🤘"
