She has used Python daily since 2008 and has a background in C++ and Java. Her exposure to board activities and funding at several start-ups informs her business-minded approach to technical problem solving -- introducing practical solutions that serve business interests first.

Satisfied Customers

 

We worked with Katharine on an early data-pipeline prototype using both existing and custom natural language processing models to parse French and English texts. Katharine was of tremendous help getting the thing up and running, having a deep understanding of the state of the art and how to improve it. We went from 0 to running prototype in a few months, and we would have never been able to achieve it without her skills and knowledge.

 

Katharine is an inspiring and energetic engineer. Quick to understand business needs, she can act as product owner and business sparring partner to make sure you're aligned and focused. Her wealth of python experience and coaching style made her a popular member of the Marketing Engineering team, and allowed the small team to deliver outstanding results on a mission critical project.

 

We worked with Katharine on a data-scraping project. Katharine was quick to understand and apply her own ideas to the business need and even quicker to deliver very tangible and high quality results. We found working with Katharine to be very pleasant and engaging - and would not hesitate to use her services again!
