I had the privilege of having Jake on my team at SoundCommerce. Jake was instrumental in the success of several critical initiatives, including building out a highly complex CI system, and maturing our platform's monitoring and alerting infrastructure. Jake also uncovered drove numerous cost reductions in our Cloud spend. Jake exhibits a quiet, relentless tenacity when it comes to attacking and solving highly complex technical problems in inherited code and systems. But he is also very flexible and is able to adapt to changes in business goals and priorities as needed. Jake has a great 'can-do' attitude and works really well in a team environment. I would be happy to work with Jake again if the opportunity presents itself.
