KC is an incredibly talented engineer who has had a huge impact here at Otta. She brings a fantastic leadership quality to her teams, making sure that we are constantly improving as a team. She has been instrumental in helping create a culture of giving honest feedback, whilst also always being open to receiving feedback herself. Her technical ability is also top notch, consistently delivering high quality features at speed whilst always keeping our candidates at the forefront of her mind. She led an engineering working group on our design library, liaising with our design team to improve the efficiency and quality of this library. She’s helped me grow significantly as a manager, where her feedback has helped me think about how to create better and more equitable team structures and rituals. She will always be an asset to any team she’s a part of!

KC has been a great mentor to me whilst I studying at Makers Academy. Always willing to help, offer guidance, and support as necessary. High energy, focus, and concise communication enabled KC to offer clear pointers for me to pick up and work on. Thanks KC!
