— Stephanie Eckles

Keith is on my short list of favorite coworkers from the past decade. I cannot overemphasize the value he brings in candor, thoughtfulness, sense of humor, depth and breadth of intellect. The passion he brings for technology in both his professional and personal life is infectious, and inspires everyone he works with. He was central to the creation of a culture of excellence that spanned across dozens of developers during our time together at Nelnet. I would like to be like Keith when I grow up!

— Clay Siefken

We like to focus on technical tools as engineers at the expense of what else makes a pleasant engineering organization. Keith continually worked towards technical process, documentation, and general organizational culture/vibe growth helping build a more positive/productive org at Nelnet. That willingness to bring up difficult topics, with a passion for writing thoughtful software, is beneficial for any team.
