Bio
Adam Roughton
Entirely cliche, but I really can't recommend Jacques enough. During our time together at Orion Health, I had the privilege of his leadership as lead engineer on a number of projects I was involved with; as well as his personal mentorship. His experience in data engineering, performance engineering, and system architecture is second to none. As a leader and mentor, he is focused on bringing out the very best in people. I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to work with him again!

Jacques has been one of the most influential people in my life. I worked closely with Jacques for 3 and a half years on two different projects where he was my mentor and lead. In this time I got to know him as someone who always strives for excellence, is very committed to his work and believed that I could execute tasks that seemed impossible to me at the time - while being patient with me bombarding him with questions. At the start of my career I wanted to stay as far away from data as possible. After a short time of working on a data project with Jacques, his passion and awe-inspiring understanding of data his relay of the power it holds and all of its possibilities, swayed me in the opposite direction. I've met very few people who have such an in-depth understanding of data as well as an impressive understanding of a wide range of other technical areas such as infrastructure, architecture and general development. Jacques is a great mentor and friend, and if I had the chance to work with him again, I will take it in a heartbeat!
