Bio
Bruce Pearce
Ella, has been a fantastic contribution to my team of cloud developers. She pays great attention to detail in both her coding as well as her testing. She always attends our scrum meetings with a great uplifting attitude. She pays attention to what everyone is saying, and offers her ideas for improvement and assistance. Her experience level and contribution is that of a senior developer. I love having her on the team and I can't wait to see the results of the things she does next.

I worked with Elvira (Ella) for the first few months of 2019 as she interned at Microsoft. During that time, she focused extensively on both SQL and No-SQL solutions to successfully deliver on her assigned projects. Ella worked on a team project that tracked the health of our services which consisted of a complex No-SQL solution utilizing Azure Document DB. She not only demonstrated the strong C# skills required to understand and modify the solution but was also able to extract information and insights from complex schema-less JSON data using Document DB SQL. Ella also successfully delivered on requirements to query and extract data from multiple existing complex SQL databases via development of custom SQL scripts in addition to fully automating those via creation of relevant stored procedures. Ella also proactively and consistently sought to improve on her deliveries by constantly seeking new ways to refactor her solutions for further efficiencies and simplification. In addition, Ella was always proactive in reaching out to others, polite, good humored and always a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Ella as a great hire to any prospective new employer.
