Bio

Dina is a rock-star, in every sense (other than the musical sense... that I know of), developer. For the number of hours she worked, she consistently wrote more than the expected amount of reasonable code, reviewed the code of others, and saw things that need to be fixed. In addition to all that, she's a wonderful team addition when it comes to mentoring, guiding, and keeping the interest of the project front-and-center. Dina is truly an amazing pillar for any project she's on, and I hope I get to work with her again.

I'm delighted to recommend Dina as a highly performing and talented software architect. I've had the privilege of working with her over the last year on a number of high-stakes platform integration projects which had aggressive scope, timelines, and a degree of ambiguity. Dina stood out as a team member who jumped in and took charge of decomposing product requirements into concrete, iterative steps within the agile framework. She acted as a force multiplier for both project delivery and in mentoring and raising the knowledge bar for other developers on the team.
