What friends (and beyond) say about me

Here's some quote from people I've worked with, or who have been involved with projects I run. Want to help me continue doing this work in 2024 and beyond? Consider supporting me!

• Ms. Boba is a deep thinker who truly cares about online community building and what it means for society. She is far ahead of anyone else in this space in terms of putting out real-world implementations that can serve many user while embodying her ideals.

• No one else working on a nascent fandom project has both first-hand professional Silicon Valley FAANG tech expertise and “trash panda” fandom expertise. This makes Ms. Boba uniquely positioned to responsibly and competently wield the necessary Big Tech skills (such as networking + recruiting + estimating + training, and other “starting/running a tech project” needs) for a fandom tech-based project.

• Ms. Boba has always had a knack for solving problems with creative ideas. When I met her, her knowledge in code and unshakable passion were inspiring. She’s dedicated to her work and brings projects to life that benefit the “all” more than the “self”.

• Ms. Boba is always really insightful and has a belief that any questions asked are worth at least a solid answer and is always willing to help or, if she doesn’t know how, provides avenues to search for an answer. She’s definitely made a commitment to fostering a community of people helping to build each other and their projects up!

• Ms. Boba is ACTUALLY working her ass off to build a community and helping break down the obstacles that stop people from becoming involved or succeeding, she’s not just someone excited about their shiny new toy or trying to sell a product. She’s clearly in it for the long haul, and it gives me a lot of hope that a lot of good can come out of BobaBoard and her other projects.

• Ms. Boba is an accomplished coder, developer, consultant, and all around cool person. I would ask her for advice in a heartbeat, because she always brings a unique perspective to everything she’s involved with.

• I trust Ms. Boba’s efforts to shape better spaces for fandom to succeed because she makes thoughtful, deliberate decisions about user experience - not just based on her own wants and needs, but based on the feedback of people with experiences different than her own. She knows that you can’t please everyone, but does trust that everyone has something valuable to say, and ultimately is looking to build a fandom tools that can be adaptable to a variety of wants and needs. She knows that slow and steady will win the race because it will give us stable tools.

• Ms. Boba has great ideas and knows how to put them in motion. She’s also one of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with. If she could adopt me, I’d be signing the paperwork already.

• Ms Boba’s enthusiasm is infectious and helps to keep teams and projects running all the way to completion. I believe with her work ethic and skills she will continue to make great things for connecting on the internet!

• Ms. Boba is one of the few people I trust to navigate the ethics of tech in an era of exploitable social media. She has a tendency to go above and beyond for the sake of shitposts, seriously, somebody stop her.

• Ms. Boba is possibly one of the most positive, encouraging, and supportive people you’ll ever meet. If you think you can’t do something, don’t worry, because she’ll never think that. She spends a lot of her time empowering people to learn coding, doing streaming lessons, and talking you through projects, because she thinks everyone is capable! Ms. Boba has helped me think more about what I want from the internet and what I can do to make it happen!

• Ms. Boba is the kind of person who can not only come up with a wild, ambitious, and delightfully ridiculous idea, but also has the knowledge, expertise, and tenacity to actually make that idea a reality.

• Ms. Boba is the only person I’ve seen approach building a social media site or a fan community with an actual grounded, realistic eye towards the future.

• Ms. Boba is uniquely creative and continues to guide whole communities with thought and tutorship. The work she is doing is not just appreciated, but necessary. Building infrastructure is no simple feat and Ms Boba continues to do so in the open. Supporting her means supporting an open, collaborative future for Fandom.

• Ms. Boba is a fantastic webdev and social space creator. She is incredibly transparent about her process, and open to feedback, user suggestions and experiences.
