Frontend Engineer Worked on the same team as a FE Engineer at Dapper Labs

I've had the pleasure of working with Fernanda on NBA TopShot since around December 2019, and it's been an amazing ride. She's been a rockstar in contributing to the most important parts of the project, especially when we were deep into testing with MSW tests and experimenting like crazy.
Fernanda has been a powerhouse in developing features like pack purchases, where she nailed everything from multi-pack to rebound pack purchasing. She also built the collectors directory, Top Shot 50, parallel editions, and the wishlist feature, which are still used on the NBA Top Shot site today. Her ability to pick up and build full-stack features with Firebase db, GraphQL API, and Next.js apps has been super impressive.
As a teammate, Fernanda is the go-to person for solid pull request reviews and always ready to answer any questions. She's got a great eye for improving features and genuinely cares about the users. Her attention to detail in building features is top-notch, leaving little room for QA feedback.
Fernanda is always ahead of the game, thinking about potential issues and ensuring a smooth experience for users. She's incredibly supportive of everyone on the team and works well with cross-functional team members and internal customers like campaign producers.
Her work ethic is off the charts, taking ownership of her tasks and paying close attention to the smallest details and possible edge cases. Fernanda's communication skills are fantastic. She's always proactive in sharing her work status and making sure nothing is missed, fostering a transparent and open environment in the team.
Working with Fernanda is always a joy, and she's great at tackling tough problems together while being open to constructive feedback. Even though she's no longer at Dapper Labs, she's still a top 3 contributor to the NBA TopShot codebase, which says a lot about her lasting impact.

Fernanda is an exceptional engineer and top-tier talent. We worked together on CryptoKitties and NBA Top Shot where I watched her excel over the years. Her attention to detail: identifying edge cases and potential business risks, helped our teams consistently deliver the right solutions on time. Her adaptability and strong communication skills allowed her to thrive in a fast-paced environment as we built on a bleeding-edge blockchain stack. Her adaptability to business needs, execution of high-quality coding standards, and natural collaboration would make her invaluable to any team in tech.

Software Engineer Worked on the same team as a FE Engineer at Dapper Labs

When I first joined NBA Top Shot at Dapper Labs, Fernanda was my mentor as a Front End Engineer and onboarded me to the team. Our team iterated quickly and it was a very fast-paced environment. Fernanda not only completed her tasks quickly for our team and other teams, she also gave me constructive and thorough feedback on my work. We would always collaborate on how we should both improve and I've learnt so much from her. At times when the requirements would be unclear, Fernanda would take ownership in finalizing scope from other stakeholders or make decisions herself to unblock the team.
It was a great privilege to work and learn from Fernanda. I would highly recommend Fernanda to anyone looking for an amazing blockchain engineer and software developer, in addition to someone who is able to mentor those on your team.
