Rita Andrade is a Software Developer at Amyris. Colleagues describe them as "I had the privilege of working with Rita for a year and highly recommend her. As an Associate Software Engineer, she quickly became an essential team member at Amyris. She worked on two of our most critical applications in the R&D pipeline. Due to their large size, the mix of legacy technologies, and the extensive domain knowledge required, these are the most challenging applications to work on. Despite this, Rita quickly adapted, learning new technologies and consistently writing well-structured, thoughtful and clean code. Among other accomplishments, Rita played a crucial role in developing our Integrated Sampling System, efficiently interfacing with the Master Fermentation Control System Hardware using RESTful web services, automating the collection and analysis of fermentation samples and saving scientists 20 minutes per event.
What sets Rita apart is her exceptional drive and resilience. The team was continually impressed by her ability to balance a full-time job while pursuing a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and still finding the time to give back and volunteer with the Red Cross.
Rita is a talented and motivated engineer. I am excited to see her career develop and believe any team would benefit greatly from her skills and dedication."
