It is my pleasure to write a recommendation to Catherine. I have worked with her at Swahilibox and Andela, where she used her excellent skills in software development to deliver exceptional results. She always demonstrates responsibility and ownership of her work and that of her team. Catherine has been both admired and respected by her stakeholders and teammates. She has consistently demonstrated an ability to rise to any challenge that she faces in her daily programming life. With her unwavering generosity to share knowledge, she has been able to mentor over 10 kids to code.

I had the pleasure of working with Chepkurui in a project, Author's Haven, as her Fellow Technical Coordinator who she was reporting to. Throughout she was fully engaged, inquiring, reflective and insightful. Catherine demonstrates excellent analytical capabilities, intellectual acuity, and strong written and verbal communications skills. She challenges conventional wisdom and brings her own personality and a global perspective to her work in ways that continually adds depth and richness.
