Options Sent
Option A (welcome + technical credibility):
"O.J. was the first person who made me feel truly welcome when I joined the team. She wasn't just friendly, she backed it up with real collaboration. We paired on everything from Zeus to fixing the notification engine together and she always made it feel like a team effort. She's a strong engineer who makes the people around her better."
Option B (amplifier angle):
"What I remember most about working with O.J. is that she saw what I was capable of before I did. She was already established on the team when I joined and she went out of her way to make sure I had a voice. We worked together across multiple projects on the automation platform and I always felt like my contributions mattered. That's rare and it sticks with you."
Option C (short and direct):
"O.J. is the kind of engineer you want on your team. We worked together on complex automation and observability projects at American Express and she brought both technical skill and genuine collaboration to everything we touched. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat."
Context from Geetha
Projects together: Zeus, ELF alerts, observability, notification engine, Lestat.
Her words: "You really are and I will never forget that. You were the one made me feel really good when I came to the team. You must be having really good memories right you have contributed a lot and you were part of the interview. I remember the most you did amazing with zeus that's something I recalled."
Notes
- Options sent Saturday 3/21 after she provided project details via text earlier in the week.
- Plan to ask for a discovery conversation interview after she responds to testimonial options. Don't stack both asks at once.
