Recommendations of My Work

“I have worked with Lynae Kamm on several projects where she has worked as the lead ColdFusion developer at HealthGrades. I have been impressed with Lynae’s patience as well as her willingness to coach and mentor others. Her attitude and interpersonal and communication skills are a valuable asset to the company as well as to those who work with her. Lynae possess exceptional analytical skills to diagnose problems and recommend practical solutions. I recommend Lynae for employment at any organization that requires an experienced, self motivated individual.” August 2, 2009

“When I started at health Grades I was assigned as the Project Manager to the Consumer Group. I quickly learned who the top performers were and Lynae was one of them. Lynae is resourceful, proactive and creative. Even today, as a Project Manager for the Health Grades Data Department I am indirectly associated with Lynae’s work. We had a data issue and when we were about to dive into it we were informed that Lynae had already addressed it on the application side buying us some needed time to get things fixed properly on the database side. Lynae is a real loss for Health Grades and I give her my highest recommendation” July 22, 2009

“I have worked with Lynae for about three years, mainly as part of cross-team collaboration. I would describe Lynae as a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and see them through to completion. She is a reliable and hard working employee who takes pride in what she does and is continually focused on ways to improve an existing process. She is very thorough and detail-oriented and can be trusted to deliver positive results. She is a team player who is well respected by others and will always go the extra mile to assist coworkers when called upon to do so. I am confident that Lynae would be a great asset for any company that hires her.” July 22, 2009

managed Lynae indirectly at HealthGrades

“I have worked with Lynae for about 4 years and I found her diligence to the task, her technical knowledge of not only our product, but the application software that it ran on, were second to none. In several instances of "emergency issues", Lynae very quickly determined the issue, made the software changes to fix it, tested it and facilitated it's deployment to our production environment. Lynae has the drive to go "above and beyond" the task at hand and to strive to improve the software beyond the requested change to allow the code to work more effectively and efficiently. She is a pleasure to work with and I feel Lynae would be an excellent addition to any software development team.” July 22, 2009

“I have worked with Lynae as a software tester in a fast-paced agile environment for the past year. I always thought she had the soul of a tester because I hadn't seen a developer so devoted to quality as Lynae. She was awarded the Quality Award from all of the testers here at HealthGrades because of her unique ability to think through all possible scenarios for her projects. Her technical knowledge is unlimited but she never makes anyone feel beneath her. I highly recommend Lynae for any development position as she will be an incredible asset for any company.” July 22, 2009

“While I did not work on the same team with Lynae at HealthGrades, I did work very closely with her and her team. Lynae is incredibly skillful and knowledgeable regarding ColdFusion and SQL development and I consider her to be one of the best developers I have had the opportunity to work with. In addition to these attributes, she is extremely approachable, easy to work with, a team player, and never hesitated to share her vast knowledge of the company, products, and programming environments. Lynae consistently devised innovative ways to solve problems and was remarkably conscientious about the quality of her work. She would be an extremely valuable addition to any progressive technology team and is greatly missed at HealthGrades. I do not often recommend colleagues, but have absolutely no hesitation to do so for Lynae.” July 22, 2009

“I have found Lynae to be exceptionally responsive to the needs of the business and particularly external clients. I appreciated her consistent dedication to following up on previous issues to make sure any requested modifications satisfied the client's needs. Lynae was always the first person I went to with a problem because she either knew the answer, would find out the answer or know who could get us the answer (quickly). Lynae was always happy to share her knowledge of the complex systems in an easy to understand manner.” July 22, 2009

“I was fortunate to work with Lynae during her time with HealthGrades. Lynae has the innate ability to not only develop code, she could look outside the box and see things as a consumer/user would. I knew I could count on Lynae to troubleshoot anything I threw at her and she would come up with solutions which were consumer friendly as well as in the benefit of the company (not an easy task). Lynae was highly respected by her co-workers for her willingness to help at any time. She is very well organized, diligent with her work and a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend Lynae to any company.” July 22, 2009

“Lynae Kamm and I worked together closely as web developers in the same group at HealthGrades for 3 years. Nobody has a better understanding of Lynae's abilities than me. On that basis, I would strongly recommend her for any kind of web or database development position for the following reasons. #1- Technical skills - Lynae used the following skills on a daily basis at HealthGrades and is very strong in all of them: Cold Fusion, SQL, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Additionally, she built a very nice personal website using PHP. She had past experience with class ASP, and she took a course in C#/.Net while we were at HealthGrades and earned an A. #2 Ability to learn new technology - Every time Lynae was asked to learn a new technology, she jumped on it very quickly and took great joy in learning it very quickly. When she was hired at HealthGrades, she did not even know ColdFusion. By the time I joined a year later, she was quite proficient, and by the time she left, she was one of the better ColdFusion developers in the company. She did the same thing with CSS when we received training in that area. #3 Personal qualities - I found Lynae to be a joy to work with. She was fun and always amiable. She was willing to answer questions and help anyone with a technical problem, even when she was completely swamped herself. She won the respect of everyone who worked with her. She was dedicated to quality, and won two separate quality awards from divisions within the company (QA and another web team) for turning out quality work. She took ownership of certain parts of the website, learned more about them than anyone else in the company, and was always striving to improve them. She is honest to a fault. I could continue going on for awhile, but I have to get to work. If you hire Lynae Kamm, I think you will be very happy you did.” July 22, 2009

“I had the privilege to work on several projects with Lynae during my tenure at HealthGrades, specifically a high-profile SEO project for our Consumer site (Local Doctor Directory). Lynae could be relied upon to not only develop quality code, but she was an innovative thinker who was ready to prototype multiple options to meet the team's needs and assist me directly with the development of test cases, whether through peer review or providing the developer's perspective on the project. She is thorough, thoughtful, intelligent and innovative. She would be a true asset and leader for any company!” July 6, 2009
