Cinnamon Toast
Cinnamon Toast needed a developer who matched not just their technical requirements but their unique creative culture. Tunga matched them with Kelly from Uganda — still on the team nearly 3 years later.
The Challenge: Finding a developer who fits a creative culture
Cinnamon Toast, a leading Canada-based full-service marketing agency specialising in brand strategy, identity design, website development, and campaigns, needed to add another developer to their team. The challenge was unique: they needed someone with the right technical expertise and a personality that matched their dynamic environment of creativity, playfulness, dependability, and strategy.
Technical skills alone were not enough. Cinnamon Toast believes that good culture is the catalyst for its success.
The Solution: Matching on culture and personality, not just skills
Tunga used situational awareness and personality assessments alongside technical evaluation to recommend Kelly Joseph Wafukho from Uganda. Tunga's talent managers' keen eye and excellent emotional intelligence helped seal the relationship.
Tunga and Cinnamon Toast officially began working together on 12 October 2021. Kelly's expertise spans Java, PHP, C, JavaScript, Python, Docker, Redis, and PHPUnit — enabling Cinnamon Toast to deliver exceptional client results.
The Result: The developer who stayed — nearly three years and counting
Nearly three years later, Kelly remains a pivotal member of the Cinnamon Toast team and is considered indispensable by leadership. The partnership solved a pressing need and fostered a relationship built on mutual respect and shared goals.
