Bio
Ryan Lupi
Sandra is a hard working and dedicated professional to the craft. During my time managing the project she was working on, I was struck by Sandra’s commitment to maintaining open communication, dedicating herself to the overarching strategic mission of the project, and her ability to complete her work in a predictable fashion. Even with her current level of proficiency, Sandra continues to ambitiously improve herself. As a team member, you cannot get better than Sandra. I hope for the opportunity to work on projects with her again. Sandra’s talents, work ethic, and attitude are traits that improve are great assets in any business environment that chooses to invest in her.
Betty Chou
Sandra is a dedicated and ambitious professional who is eager to learn, grow, and contribute. She has proven herself technically competent with software development and also willingly and continuously takes on stretch goals. From conducting technical coding interviews for intern program applicants to building her experience in project management, Sandra does not shy away from challenges. Not only is Sandra a team player, but she is also a team builder who looks to motivate those around her. Whether leading daily stand-ups, coaching interns, or gathering the office to meet daily exercise goals, Sandra lifts up those around her. Unafraid to ask questions and pursue answers, Sandra is a lifetime learner who will no doubt enable success to those with whom she interacts while building her own path toward success.
