I got to "mentor" Kelly into the rather complex stack for Tesla Insurance. It felt like what a race car driver must feel when driving a very very fast race car. She started improving the variables names, the architecture, the logic, everything she touched got better. Kelly is an outstanding colleague, engineer and person. Thanks to her, after 3 years of building Tesla Insurance, I was able to move to other projects, as she was able to cover for my contribution.
Kelly is reliable, very smart, courageous and she rocks. Probably one of the most talented UI dev I had the privilege to help hiring and mentoring.
