Testimonials

James Bonner

CEO, Director

AIVA

I have worked with Stephanie in many capacities over the last 10+ years. Her diligence, astuteness and enthusiasm have always been impressive and her positive contributions to team, product, community, and culture across the years have been immeasurable.

She is proactive in solving problems and understanding the goals of her team and organisation. She is able to effectively communicate these and act as a team leader and an individual mentor with empathy, loyalty, and alacrity.

Stephanie is a diligent and effective worker who is able to work well under self-direction, as a part of a team and leading a team. She is a talented and forward-thinking in all facets of engineering: researching, prototyping, implementation, and sustainment. She is well versed in multiple languages and engineering approaches and is very quick to pick up additional languages and approaches.

Stephanie is without a doubt the best employee we ever had.

Russell Grain

Executive Director

AIVA

“Steph breaks down complex topics clearly and patiently including providing diagrams, especially when working with people in different disciplines. Best employee we ever had.”

Chris Mackenzie

Engineering Partner

Opaque

“Steph's remarkable intellectual curiosity, appreciation of deep technical topics, and loyalty and empathy both for her team and the people she's building for make her an asset to any team lucky enough to have her.

Over the many years I've worked with her, Steph has repeatedly delivered first-in-class, ahead-of-the-time features which took larger, better resourced teams months or years to replicate. Many of these can now can be found in innovation laboratories at FAANG companies, government agencies and creative studios.”

Michael Davies

Senior Software Engineer

Sledgehammer Games

“Steph's willingness to dive into unfamiliar technologies coupled with her persistence and great communication skills makes her a valuable asset to any development team.”

Cameron Harvey

Lead Game Programmer @ DEPT (AU)

“Steph is certainly one of the most talented programmers I've come across. Her passion and methodology for deep-diving into challenging problems, and coming out the other side victorious, is quite astonishing to witness, and even more-so to be a part of. Plus she's great to get along with. Very stoked to have had the opportunity to work with her!”

Dr Clinton Woodward

Chief Data Scientist

“I would follow Steph into battle.”
