It is with much enthusiasm that I am writing this recommendation for Carmen Perez. I reached out to Carmen as she was wrapping up her coding bootcamp. During our interviews, Carmen displayed a level of creativity, wit, and analytical thought that is quite rare among recent bootcamp graduates. Her ability to recognize coding patterns and natural curiosity allowed her to quickly understand code to develop her skills are truly phenomenal – for her time at Crew Me Up, she led the development of client facing inventory management system. Carmen is a good colleague but a better person! She added great chemistry within team culture and continue to produce good, quality work without sacrificing team integrity.

I had the pleasure of working with Carmen at Crew Me Up as her Director. She's a true problem solver and creative; along with being a Software Engineer, she wore many other hats that required being design-minded. Carmen is a great collaborator and is always willing to speak up for the betterment of the team and project. From executing user-stories for our front-end to mocking-up application functions, the ideas she brings to the table paired with her great communication skills will be an asset to any organization she's a part of.
