Kara Y. is a Senior Software Engineer at Curai at Curai. She possess expertise in analysis, business analysis, testing, process improvement, project management and 34 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I worked with Kara during my time as tech lead for Dictionary's back-end engineering team. Our team worked on a wide variety of tasks, from implementing the usual back-end APIs, to expanding our programmatic ad stack, and most significantly, a complete rewrite of Dictionary's highly complex content pipeline. Kara proved to be a crucial member of the team. She was adaptable to any task, acquired significant domain knowledge of the field of lexicography, and contributed demonstrable improvements to our code quality and processes via incisive and constructive code reviews. I would gladly work with Kara again at a moment's notice.", "There are few people that I have worked with that stand out like Kara. I had the pleasure to work on the same team as her as well as on adjacent teams during my time at Dictionary.com. During our collaboration on projects such as the performance initiative for Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com, she has always shown a great attention to detail as well as an ability to learn quickly on the fly. Her contributions as a code quality leader on the team encouraged junior and senior engineers alike to improve the codebase. Without Kara's ability to bring everyone together at lunch for some truly entertaining conversations, we all would have likely been enjoying our lunchtime less. The shared time that engineers from all of the engineering teams gained during the conversations ensured that there were never any barriers amongst the teams. With all of the great qualities that she brings to the table, Kara would be a tremendous asset for any engineering team.", and "I've worked with Kara on a small backend team for about a year, where there is quite an array of responsibilities. She picks up new technologies and techniques quickly and makes sure to share her knowledge through useful documentation and pair programming. She has incredibly high code quality; it's clean, easy to read, and well tested. Her code reviews are some of the most thoughtful I've encountered, leveling up the code quality of the whole group and setting an example for what it means to be a team player. She provides a lot of valuable feedback and questions during architectural design meetings, often preventing pitfalls down the road. Aside from being a reliable engineer, she's positive, self-possessed, and altogether a wonderful person to work with."
