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, Senior QA 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.
