#PeopleOfPrecise: Meet Kristi Cornett

Meet Kristi Cornett – Computer Systems Analyst, Software Developer, and Precise Systems’ Employee Spotlight for March 2024.

Kristi has been part of our Precise Team since October 2023. When she joined our organization, software development was a new career path for her, but one that she was incredibly excited to learn. She previously worked in social media management, daily interacting with the constantly changing features and algorithms of different social media platforms. Kristi found these changes to be fascinating and was interested to know the “why” behind each new update. Her never-ending curiosity and pursuit of these answers led her to software development.

When she knew she wanted to make a career change, Kristi knew that it was important to find a company that would support her growth. She knew Precise would be the perfect fit, saying, “Collaboration has been such a monumental experience for me. The Precise Team helps one another, and it is focused on lifting one another up and putting out an excellent product for our customers.”

She found her home at Precise on the NAVAIR AMS Team. Kristi describes the AMS product as a suite of business applications that help put requirements on contract and on time, meaning our warfighters get the help they need when they need it to stay safe and do their jobs effectively. Since the start of her career with Precise, she has felt valued as a member of the Team. Her co-workers have given her the chance to find her own way, while also supporting her through each step of the problem-solving process. Kristi’s growth as a developer and teammate can be directly attributed to the collaborative ideal felt throughout her team.

Kristi does not just focus on her professional development, however. A personal goal of hers is to become an endurance athlete! She would love the chance to complete a marathon, and she has already run a half-marathon in preparation for achieving this larger goal. She has entered several marathon lotteries and is excited for the day that she is finally given the chance to complete this goal.

Part of the reason she is inspired to keep going comes from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech – one historical event she would love to be part of. Kristi is encouraged by his relentless hope and belief to never allow your inner flame to be extinguished, even in the darkest of times. 

We are incredibly lucky to have such a hard-working and driven individual as part of our Precise Team. Kristi, we are honored to be part of your career journey and we are excited to see the growth ahead of you!
