   content: Naomi is an absolute trailblazer, and is an amazing person to work with! Naomi is humorous and also has an amazing attitude to work with. Her ability to solve complex problems efficiently astounds me. Not only does she demonstrate outstanding technical knowledge, but also does an amazing job at elucidating her needs as an engineer. She is a very warm person and quite easy to work with. Naomi is immensely perceptive and very calculated with what she does. Naomi would make an excellent addition to any company that is lucky enough to hire her!

   content: Naomi is one of the most competent professionals I have had the pleasure of working with. She has an exceptional presence, giving the impression of being everywhere at once, and her attention to detail is remarkable. She is able to identify subtle points and gaps in reasoning that others might miss and point that out in a respectful way. Naomi is not one to avoid difficult conversations. She expresses her opinions with clarity, confidence, and thoughtfulness. Her work on freeCodeCamp’s Discord, in addition to the many other code-related contributions she has made, is nothing short of impressive. She has kept the community engaged, planned events that people genuinely want to attend, and led the management of the entire space. Thanks to her leadership, the community has become a respectful, welcoming, and valuable place to be a part of. Any team would be fortunate to have Naomi’s expertise, dedication, and leadership.

   content: Naomi built our incredible syndicated community help channel which among other things made it easy for us to see customer feedback and help customers more quickly. Naomi ramped up incredibly quickly and took on a breadth of projects across the org. You'll see her work leading the information architecture changes for new product docs and launching the new product demos, casually addressing an infra issue (on launch day). You'll see her making critical SDK changes across many languages. You'll see her being calm and considerate even under pressure. I'm very grateful for her SDK work on temp keys which enabled many critical customers to launch with token-based auth. This project was an early opportunity to see Naomi shine, she took on something complex and ambiguous so quickly and confidently and was an excellent collaborator throughout.  Inside and outside the org she is a community builder, actively trying to build community and connection in many different ways while putting inclusion at the forefront. I also loved her presentation for Pride month this year.

+  content: "Especially in a learning space what is most important actually is the modeling you do for the learning environment you are cultivating. In this case when you overdo it modeling how to step back and recalibrate with the community and during that recalibration evaluate your systems to provide buffer for yourself to decrease the odds that future recalibrations will be necessary. People going above and beyond is how workers get exploited and in learning spaces it is good to model the tools folks need to be able to represent themselves and fight for their own needs in a world where people will be constantly pushing for more.\n\nThanks Naomi for all that you do. Everything will be fine. People have a bunch of free resources available to them while you recalibrate and there are plenty of additional places they can get supplementation if that is required and they can't wait. It is good leadership to say no to things that are unsustainable."
