Ken Sobieski Email & Phone Number

Ken Sobieski is a Sotware Engineer III at Clayton. Colleagues describe them as "I'm excited to wholeheartedly endorse Ken, an incredible engineer with exceptional software design skills. Ken was not just a mentor to me, but a true wizard in the field. He has an uncanny knack for demystifying complex technical concepts, making them accessible to anyone he teaches. Working alongside Ken, I witnessed firsthand his ability to turn challenging problems into elegantly simple solutions, consistently taking our projects to new heights of technological excellence. Ken's contributions to our team were nothing short of extraordinary, and his positive attitude and willingness to help others made him a real pleasure to collaborate with. He truly embodies the spirit of teamwork. If you're on the lookout for a remarkable engineer who can seamlessly integrate into your engineering team and bring a touch of brilliance to every project, look no further than Ken. I'm confident that he'll continue to be a shining star in the engineering world, leaving an indelible mark wherever he goes!", "During my time at Rocket Mortgage, I had the opportunity to lead Ken as a member of the Stargazers delivery team. I was able to recruit Ken from another team as he was looking to do more hands-on development work and more mentoring opportunities. This in turn, allowed him to step into his greatest strengths: system design, "common sense architecture", and mentoring. For example, when the team was working on the architecture for our new data storage, Ken mapped out the relationships between the various models, explained why it made sense to store them that way, and the business case for storing certain data vs not other data. Ken is thoughtful of his choices and he's built great relationships with our Product and Design teams to ensure that he knows the "why" we're building something and why it's designed the way it is. Ken is a natural mentor and a champion for process, so he can strengthen a more green team quickly. Some examples include mentoring other engineers on the team in .NET and architecture, establishing the practice of using Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) to keep track of why we made certain decisions, and ensuring that we learned from our production outages through Blameless Incident Reports (BIRs). Outside of the coding side, Ken provides a spark of fun for a team through his communication style of well-timed GIFs, dad jokes, and overall levity. I can count on him to break the ice in a group and get everyone to loosen up. Overall, Ken would be a great addition to any team that needs a solid mentor and an engineers who cares more than just the code, but making sure we're building the right thing for the right reasons.", and "Ken will be a great Senior Engineer to have on any team. Having worked with Ken for 4+ years in the same team, I've learnt a great deal from him. He's a very thoughtful software engineer, who has consistently mentored 4 other engineers and always provided constructive feedback. It's very rare to find a mentor like Ken, who makes the team succeed directly and indirectly. He's a great team player. Ken's expertise in building complex applications in .Net is unparalleled. His knowledge on Object Oriented Design principles is immense. During his time in Rocket mortgage he refactored multiple .Net framework applications and built amazing web services with .Net Core Ken is one who is always willing to ask the tough questions when designing systems, challenge the status quo, and provide consistent feedback to all levels of people on the team. It's been my pleasure working with learning from Ken and I can guarantee you can't go wrong with Ken."
