“From 2011-2013, Lydia and I worked as peers on Cogito's engineering team. Prior to that, we were co-TA's and classmates at MIT. While Lydia has many strengths, what impressed me in particular was her learning ability, meticulousness, and team oriented demeanor. At Cogito, Lydia worked on a variety of projects, including refactoring our audio signal processing pipeline to be real time, creating the first version of our enterprise reporting website, and building the server backend for real time call analytics. Over these three projects, Lydia learned C++, Python, and Java respectively. She proved her ability to rapidly get up to speed on complex systems while learning language fundamentals. More impressive than being a fast learner were Lydia's meticulous work habits. Lydia sweated the details. Despite having only known Python for a few weeks, she taught me about the Python collections module and taught me which data structures were optimal for our systems. The team relied on her code to be well documented, professional, and working. Lydia delivered. Finally, Lydia is an A+ teammate. One time, we had a large set of audio annotation to perform that our annotators could not handle. Lydia was the first to volunteer to stay late to help even though this was nowhere near her role. Lydia acts without ego and is willing to get behind other people's ideas. Lydia contributed to Cogito's fun culture, often riding her bike to her favorite bakery to get a cake for people's birthdays. I greatly enjoyed the experience working with Lydia. Lydia is a valuable addition to any high-caliber software engineering team.”
