Kyle reported to me for over six months. In that time, he contributed greatly to the team, specifically with respect to automation and system improvement. He took multiple tasks that were previously managed in disparate or inconsistent systems and integrated those tasks into systems like JIRA, using Python and SQL code, reducing time spent dramatically. He also automated tasks that were previously being done by employees. A simple, but effective, example is that our team used to follow-up on tasks that internal teams were not completing. Kyle wrote code that identified tasks that had been idle for a given time period, and automatically sent notifications to the internal owner of those tasks to complete them. In only a week, this led to over a 30% reduction in those idle tasks. Finally, he was a good team member. He was patient with individuals in the organization, even when their questions were not always the most informed. He also pushed me as a manager, asking good questions and encouraging me to take action where it would help the team and organization. I would recommend him for any team.

I worked with and directly managed Kyle for over 1.5 years at Zenefits. Here are some skills/characteristics he can bring to your company: 1. Analytics- Kyle is self-taught in SQL and Python. His automated queries helped scale our quality operations last year. This would not have scaled without Kyle's code. I'm excited to see what he can do with his code studies going forward. 2. Innovation- Kyle is always thinking of ways to make things better. He has had several ideas implemented into our product (Voluntary GI Calculator, Automated Task Emails, etc). He has proven that he can make his ideas reality. 3. Morale Booster- Kyle is the type of person you want to be around and work with. He brought a fun loving attitude to work during a very difficult time at our company, this was needed. I would absolutely love to have Kyle on my team again if the opportunity presents itself.
