Kristina has been with Bootsoft for over a decade (and will be celebrating that anniversary this year with a 1 month sabbatical!). Throughout her time with us, Kristina has proven to be an intelligent, perceptive, flexible, and hard working member of the team who never deflects responsibility and always gives 110%. Kristina has played many roles within the company over the years (many simultaneously) including Database Administrator / Analyst / Architect, Database Team Manager, Quality Assurance Manager, Service Delivery Manager, Operations Manager for Manila, Vice President of Service Delivery and Management Team Member. In those roles, she has shepherded many successful projects including award winning websites, hugely complex data warehouses, and the establishment and ongoing maintenance of an offshore subsidiary in the Phillipines focused on Quality Assurance. But for all of her past successes, Kristina is awarded the coveted “Nailed It” award in April 2013 for her work as the newly appointed Bootsoft Guru of Agile Development.
As a software consulting organization, it is critical that Bootsoft continue to grow and adapt to the changing marketplace with respect to new technologies as well as software development methodologies. While Agile development has been around for a number of years and has been employed at Bootsoft in some form for years, it was not until Kristina took the helm that Bootsoft’s flavor of Agile formally took shape. Under her leadership, the roles, responsibilites, tools and methodologies for our Agile process have been clearly defined and training has been provided to the team at large. The best barometer for her success has been the smooth running of agile development efforts under her guidance.
Congratulations to Kristina for Nailing It! I’m sure if this award had been around since her joining us, she’d be able to frame a house by now with all of the nails
