“I worked with Heidi for two years, both as a colleague when she ran the test team and as her manager when we merged dev and test teams. She is awesomely capable at everything she does; I would work with her again without hesitation given the opportunity. Indeed I often predicted that I'd end up reporting to her at some future date as she's that good. Heidi has many talents: she is a caring and charasmatic people manager; she is technically strong in both her coding and design/architecture skills; and she gets things done by highly effective networking and cross-team engagement. She shines in forseeing complex emerging problems and challenges, identifying solutions to them, and then driving these to completion. She's deeply knowledgeable about search, about engineering large distributed systems, and about E2E system quality in complex environments. She would be a great person to have on your team, whether in a manager/lead or individual role.”
