Pauline P. Narvas

Developer Experience at OpenAI, prev Vercel

She worked in the relatively new DevRel team at Gitpod, where she delivered some incredible projects including the launch of our community-curated templates (gitpod-samples), wrote a number of high-quality technical blog posts, and built meaningful relationships with our partners. I've known Nancy to be reliable with high attention to detail in everything she creates, she's a real team player and is a joy to collaborate with. She has so much potential to be even better, and I'm excited to continue to watch her career grow! 🌱 Best of luck in the future, Nancy - I hope we can cross paths again.

Ashish Dubey

Engineering Lead

Nancy is highly proactive in learning whatever comes in her way, honest with herself and whom she works with, and has a really good work ethic. She worked with the continuous delivery team at Grofers, starting as an intern and then becoming a full-time member of the team obviously because the team loved her work. She worked on complex projects ranging from building Jenkins shared libraries to setting up Tekton as a common CI/CD platform. With a small team, to work on those projects, she took all the difficulties that came her way as learning opportunities, be it technical or of collaborative nature and she came out stronger every time. She was very open to feedback and also gave feedback which helped not just herself improve but also the people who worked with her. I'd recommend Nancy as a software engineer for any team that promotes learning and open culture.

Nancy joined the Developer Relations & Design Team at LocalStack at an early stage and quickly ramped up efforts in developer education, developer experience, documentation, partnerships, and more. She was instrumental in launching LocalStack Academy, taking it from a rough idea to production while producing high-quality content that served our customers and users better. We also worked together to organize various in-person and virtual meetups, with over 1,000 RSVPs, built relationships with technical partners through case studies and videos, and supported the wider open-source community in collaboration with Engineering and GTM. From my perspective, Nancy has been someone I can always count on. Her attention to detail is remarkable, and she brings a great degree of creativity and passion to the table.
