Bio
Jess Latimer
Lela is a brilliant software developer with a keen eye for detail, a diligence around process that is rare to find, and a top-notch technical acumen. She is quick to raise concerns and eager to work through them collaboratively to find a solution. She sets an excellent example of following process with her team, but doesn't do so blindly - she'll be the first to call out inefficiencies and offer up suggested improvements. On top of all that, she's a delight to work with, funny and fun-loving, and she makes an out-sized contribution to team culture. Any company would be lucky to have Lela on their team!

Lela is one of those employees that has an extremely strong work ethic and is always someone you can rely on to get the job done. Due to resource changes and organizational restructuring, the responsibility was placed on her to maintain and keep multiple systems associated with the organization up and running. Not only was she able to achieve this, but with a lot of patience and hard work she provided other team members with the required domain and technical knowledge that allowed them to migrate legacy applications into a brand new system. Her quality and detail in documentation, processes and communication can only be praised and made my job as a manager so much easier. I can not recommend her enough and will always miss the positive impact she made on the team.
