I run an Etsy shop where I sell my own handmade Crochet products.  I love to try out arts and crafts of different kinds, but Crochet has found a special place in my heart.  It has become my main artistic medium of expression for several years and I hope it continues to do so.

        I had the great privilege of working with Aleksandra for two years at Raise. During our time working together I leaned on her expertise and background in Rails, watched her grow into the UI development space, and counted on her to manage projects and timelines for our more junior engineers.

Aleksandra picked up modern Javascript over the last year and I have been highly impressed with her growth. She is a thoughtful and thorough programmer who focuses on writing tests and ensuring she delivers clean, comprehensible code to a degree I haven't seen often. To me she embodies the principles preached in The Pragmatic Programmer. The maintainability and quality of code she delivers is among the best I've seen.

Aleksandra is also eager to contribute to the team and will pick up responsibilities when it helps the group out. For the last four months she has managed a pair of junior contractors we hired: creating stories, running sync meetings, negotiating acceptance criteria with stakeholders, and onboarding them onto our stack. I have come to trust that she keeps them delivering results.

Aleksandra was also instrumental in developing some of the core features of our Universal Node.js application: server-side route handling and templating, declarative management of document head tags, complete coverage of unit level tests, pull request templates, and more. Her list of contributions were instrumental in the delivery of this platform.

Aleksandra has proven herself an indispensable member of our team and would make a great addition to any team that cares about code quality and long term maintainability. I would be happy for the opportunity to work with her again.
