About me

I have directly managed Cristina for two years on the Experimentation Platform at Activision, and having worked closely with her, I can attest to her exceptional talent, dedication, and leadership skills. Cristina is an incredibly skilled developer who consistently stays up-to-date with the latest technologies and applies them to her code. Her ability to work swiftly without compromising code quality is impressive. She demonstrates a knack for creative problem-solving, particularly when faced with complex software challenges, and she consistently delivers innovative solutions. One of Cristina's standout qualities is her commitment to continuous improvement. She proactively seeks ways to enhance team processes, consistently recommending ideas and implementing effective changes. Cristina displays strong leadership skills when mentoring interns on the team, providing constructive feedback, conducting frequent check-ins, and engaging in pair programming sessions to foster their development. She's also always willing to assist a teammate when they are blocked. Additionally, Cristina is a strong communicator. She clearly shares her ideas and thoughts in meetings and presents architectural development plans to the team. Her ability to articulate complex concepts clearly ensures alignment and understanding across all stakeholders. Beyond her professional abilities, Cristina is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her contagious positive energy, kindness, and passion for her work make her a valuable asset to any team.

Cristina is an amazing engineer, who possesses a rare blend of technical prowess and exceptional project management skills that make her a standout developer. She is able to produce high-quality work in a record time, and always tackles even the most intricate problems with confidence and creativity. She demonstrates high autonomy, meaning that she can handle complex tasks and reach out to key stakeholders without missing a beat. Her detail-oriented approach to work means that she will thoroughly cover every aspect of a project, from design to implementation, and deliver outstanding work in a consistent manner. Cristina is also an excellent communicator, who can efficiently coordinate work between different teams, and present projects to any audience. She did an amazing job collaborating with our Design and UX team, adding meaningful contributions to help craft the best product possible. Cristina excels at everything she works on, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for an engineering position.

During my time interning at Activision I was lucky enough to have Cristina as a mentor, and would recommend her to anyone. She was always enthusiastic when it came to teaching me new things and would take time out of her day to make sure I learn. Her mentorship not only helped me get through my time at Activision but also has prepared me for the future. She always gave me insightful tips that will carry me through my career going forward. Cristina was a very patient and passionate mentor, and made it an engaging learning experience. More than thankful to have had her guidance as it has shaped me into the dev I am today. Thanks Cristina!
