Kay Lee is a Tech | Ops. Colleagues describe her as "Kay understands that good software comes from good people who are cared about. His clarity of vision helps all those he shares it with and getting alignment where needed. Kay is committed! You will always know where he stands and know that it comes from a place of integrity and well balanced thought. The enthusiasm he has for tech is infectious. He wants to build and execute great software and bring people together to do it. Kay is not afraid to get his hands dirty if extra testing is needed, or just a desk needs assembling. He knows the importance of being part of a team. He will fight for them and defend them, but also take responsibility when he falls short. Failure to Kay means he's taking risks, and trying to push boundaries where he sees potential for innovations. Fear does not stop him from going into the unknown. Over the past few years I've had the pleasure of reporting to Kay and growing from a Lead to a Manager. He's given me the opportunity stretch my legs and lead several individuals and 2 teams. I felt empowered to do what I know was right to get the job done, yet he was always available to hash out any issues and clarify priorities. We were successful in building long lasting software that brought value to the business and it's users. We also had fun doing it.", "Kay is an amazing technical leader. It is rare to find a technical leader who is able to focus on crafting a technical strategy in alignment with business goals, and also to be able to lead and inspire an engineering group, but Kay excels both. While some technical leaders overlook the customer, Kay can be counted on to make certain that everyone always keeps the customer in mind in anything being built. He is also extremely well versed in Agile practices, and in getting teams to deliver valuable high quality software, at a rapid but sustainable pace. Beyond all of this, Kay is also extremely good at identifying individuals who need a little extra help to get them to the next level, and mentoring them to bring out the best in them. I would recommend Kay without reservation or hesitation for any organization looking for an extremely skilled technical leader.", and "If you are looking to build complex applications at scale, you will want to put Kay on the top of the list of your A-team. As a developer, he has a keen understanding for how to tackle problems in the context of an existing system. What makes him a unique asset is that he will also challenge the business / PM side on their assumptions to ensure that all use cases are properly handled. Not only that, but Kay can turn out production-ready code in 1/2 the time it takes the average developer, without excuses or complaint. I can't say enough about Kay, except that he is a startup's dream. Or a daydream for an enterprise that wants to start becoming agile."
