“Alex primarily worked on our internal collaboration tool named Circles. She
worked on some of the enhancements during the period of her internship
with us. She showed her ability to quickly adapt to the complex system and
at the same time learn the technologies that we used. She also showed us
that she can complete the assigned tasks to her on time. She is also not
afraid to share her ideas and ask for some help if she needed one. And most
importantly, she appreciates the help from her teammates and acknowledges
them politely.
Alex is hard-working, highly motivated and very sociable. Our Scrum Master
pinned point her high joyful energy during daily stand up meetings which is
great because it shows her excitement to do her tasks during the day…”
