Bio
Mike Chmura
I had first glimpse of Gaby's many talents when she was still a CS student at Queens University. At that time Gaby joined our company as an intern working on our cloud computing software stack. It was obvious from the start Gaby has a very strong core computer science skills, solid approach to solving problems, organization talents and a passion for technology. After her graduation Gaby has joined our software team. It was a pleasure to witness Gaby's rapid professional growth. She has become a key member of our world class software crew (team alumni are now with Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Qualcomm and GM among others). When opportunity arose, Gaby stepped in as a software development team lead and performed in that role splendidly. Gaby has often identified and bridged the gap with our product team helping translate ambiguous business requirements into a refined set of user stories ready for development. Gabrielle will bring value and make an outstanding positive difference in any organization.
