RECOMMENDATIONS

Jeff Rick, Chief Technology Officer at Deerwalk, Inc.

Corinne is a creative user interface and experience designer who created an award winning web application while we worked together at Intranets.com. She was excellent at taking the ideas of both product and technical team members and bringing them together in great design.

Barry Briggs, Chief Technology Officer Microsoft IT

Corinne worked for me during an exciting time at Lotus Development as we built and shipped 1-2-3 Release 3. Corinne was an absolutely solid and reliable software engineer and I quickly learned that I could count on her for high quality code. A dedicated individual, she worked very well in high-stress situations (which 1-2-3 was) and was a great team player. It's a pleasure for me to recommend Corinne!

Mary Schladenhauffen, Senior Web Services Developer at Nokia

I have had the pleasure of working with Corinne for many years at both Lotus and Intranets. Corinne was one the the key contributors at Intranets designing the UI for their web based SaaS offerings. Corinne organized many usability studies and researched many competitors to keep the product customer focused and easy to use. She always kept on top of industry trends by joining and participating in professional UI organizations. Corinne is an extremely talented and dedicated UI designer that I would definitely want to work with in the future.

Roberta Burton, SeniorQA Engineer at Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics

I worked very closely with Corinne when I came onboard at Intranets.com because the company was in the process of designing an updated GUI to the collaborative software product line (13 applications). She was the Senior UI designer and impressed me so much as to her knowledge of UI standards, ease of use and usability. She taught me so much...I still quote her today! She also managed and designed the beta program. I could observe a user navigate through the new GUI and perform specific functions. It was great!! I would highly recommend her in any UI designer role and she would excel at designing a new GUI for any product.

Tim Coleman, Senior QA Engineer at Akamai Technologies

I've been fortunate enough to work with Corinne at two different companies. At Intranets.com, where Corinne was the UI Designer, our application underwent a major evolution under Corinne's leadership. This couldn't have been accomplished without Corinne's skill, diverse talents and leadership. The engineering team enjoyed working with Corinne because of her deep technical knowledge and ability to contribute to elegant and efficient solutions. The Marketing team appreciated Corinne's design skills and ability to seamlessly translate their requirements into dynamic designs and solutions. At Lotus, Corinne was an effective technical leader who played a prominent role in the development of a number of releases of the 1-2-3 spreadsheet. As a QA engineer, I enjoyed working with Corinne because of her deep product knowledge and her commitment to producing quality code. Corinne's considerable design, technical and interpersonal skills would make her a great fit in any organization. I'd highly recommend her without reservation and would eagerly welcome the opportunity to work with her again.

Morris Porter, VP of Sales & Business Development at Yottaa

Corinne is a talented and hard-working technology professional who made a meaningful impact on our business at Intranets.com. Corinne worked hard to keep the user interface of the web-based intranet (later called a WebOffice) on the cutting edge. Corinne's efforts resulted in our service being routinely praised for its ease of use and its intuitive approach to the interface. Corinne always kept her ear to the ground to get the "voice of the customer" into the design process. Corinne was extremely trust-worthy and was well-liked by the team. I heartily recommend her as a design professional.

Becky Gibson, Sr. Technical Staff Member at IBM

It is a pleasure to recommend Corinne as a Software Engineer! Corinne is a very capable Software Engineer who takes her work seriously. She is always thorough and works to keep her skill set current. In addition, she is a fun person to be around - all admirable qualities in a software engineer! I would be happy to be work on a team with Corinne again.
