Bio
Dustin Gahimer
Jason's drive to build and thirst for knowledge would make him a valuable contributor on any team. The speed and success with which Jason has picked up the NodeJS ecosystem, SQL and NoSQL database systems, and even Microsoft Azure and other cloud platforms has been a delight to watch, and he is the consummate self-starter who dives head first into challenge, as is evidenced by his portfolio. I can't wait to see where this career takes him.
Josh Lamour
Jason's enthusiasm and energy helped captivate audiences during our sales cycles together. Jason was instrumental in our successes in Australia as well as here in the Bay Area. Jason's passion is credible and of the highest ethics- any organization that is partnering with Jason or the firm he represents should feel confident that he or his products will deliver.
