Bio
Scott Herson
Joel and I have been engaged in a cloud technology partnership for about a year now. It has been inspiring to watch Joel quickly get games to market and insure they scale. He has a great sense of what is important on both the content, technology and business fronts and is very successful at rallying his team to meet internal deadlines and market demand. Joel has been instrumental in getting Jirbo to the next level and I cant wait to track his future projects. I endorse Joel for any start-up and or enterprise environment and hope to continue to partner up with him.
John Swiderski
Working as a 3rd party with a large organization such as EA can sometimes be a frustration. Joel took that part out of the equation for us and made things a lot more manageable. He has great people skills and good work ethics. It was a pleasure working with him and I hope someday I can again.
