To whom it may concern,
I am very pleased to recommend Mrs. Meng Wang for a Software Engineering position. I was Meng’s
mentor during her 10-week internship from June 2016 to August 2016, and Meng demonstrated very
good qualities during her internship.
Meng is a very motivated and talented engineer. She engaged in several tasks such as visualizing
electronic money transaction data on map, developing an Android application with machine learning
library (TensorFlow) and automating the update process of BI dashboard. Although various skills and
knowledge about JavaScript, CSS, Python, SQL, Machine Learning are required in these tasks, she
could catch up it in a short period then delivered useful outputs. In addition, she has a good
communication skills. When she faced problems, she contacted appropriate engineers to solve the
problems.
Meng has a very logical thinking and is able to understand quickly how to make things work. On top of
that, Meng is able to work very autonomously but has also good team work abilities.
Of course, Meng still lacked some experience in developing consumer-grade software, so she was not
as productive as an experienced engineer. But I think through these 10 weeks, she was able to improve
both her productivity and her knowledge of coding, and is now able to write high quality and maintainable
code.
Given her qualities, I am positive that Meng will be a very good asset to your team and will continue to
grow in the future.
Best regards,
