Subject: Recommendation for Mr/Mrs/Miss. XXXXXXXXXXX
Dear [Principal Name/ Professor Name/Department Head’s Name]
I am pleased to recommend XXXXXXX for graduate admission to XXXXX University. She
has been working at Intel Security (XXX) since July 2015, and I have supervised her work since
November 2015. Our team is responsible for Quality Assurance of Antimalware content that
reaches more than 100 million endpoints, and the number is growing as this content is used by
multiple products. Quality of such content is highly critical since a wrong detection or instability
of the product can bring down systems and with it, critical setups in many enterprises (banks,
hospitals, etc.)
XXXXXXX work involves designing test scenarios and implementing them, writing
automation scripts for the same, doing malware analysis and research to validate and improve the
content. Creating test scenarios to validate this kind of Antimalware content requires knowledge
of many Operating systems and user scenarios. Quick and thorough research on the scenarios and
operating system internals is required to cover all possible situations. These tests are time critical
due to the nature of the security business. XXXXX demonstrates quick grasping skills both in
terms of understanding processes and the technical details which have made her the top performer

in my team even though she joined us just out of college. XXXXXX is highly motivated and
dedicated which has enabled her to understand the product architecture and code in a very short
time and has emerged as one of the subject matter experts in my team. She has a great eye for
details and also the perseverance to get bottom of most issues. This trait of her has resulted in her
filing some very critical bugs which led to better quality of the content and the product, avoiding
many field issues. She also demonstrates good coding skills. She has built many modules for our
bigger QA automation rigs.
XXXXXXX shows great interest and aptitude towards research and working on new ideas.
After identifying some gaps in the testing process, she set up an ElasticSearch cluster from scratch
to store sample information. This reduced the time taken by our team in searching samples required
for testing by almost 70%, in turn reducing the overall time taken for testing. She further got more
insights from this data which helped us improve our detection rules. XXXXXXXX is currently
working on using this data in Machine Learning algorithms to solve some critical and difficult
problems, like classifying clean and malicious samples.
I would also like to mention that XXXXXXX has good communication skills. She can
consolidate all her thoughts and ideas and present it very well, be it in the form of presentations or
authoring whitepapers. During multiple presentations to the team and the higher management, she
has been able to explain her ideas clearly and adequately. Her white paper on the optimized
procedure for testing using ElasticSearch is one such example. XXXXXXXXX is very keen on
learning new things and excelling in all aspects of her work.
Her dedication, drive to learn and her technical skill lets me confidently say that she would
do exceptionally well in a graduate program and I strongly recommend her for graduate studies at
XXXXXXX.
