Bio
Gonzalo Rubio Torrente
I had the opportunity to work with Jake at Pleo for almost a year. During this time we worked closely on some ambitious goals, and he managed to make them happen smoothly. Technically speaking, he is a super strong front-end developer. He understood all the existing codebase in record time. Soon, he was adding new features, at the same time he was cleaning the house, leaving the code cleaner than what he found. I don't remember a single PR that was not really solid and well reasoned. In parallel, he has a natural talent for leadership. I was super happy to help him to become an Engineer Manager. His hard-working approach, his communication skills, and how he cares about the people drove his growth as EM. All his team loved to have him as a manager, and they felt the environment he created was ideal for delivering 100% of their potential. And in the personal side, he is extremely easy-going. He can share his opinions transparently, but he is always open to discuss and try to find agreements. Decision making processes with him are smooth and enjoyable. In sum, working with Jake is a delightful experience, and I hope we can work together again on the future.

Jake worked leading the website development for Garrison where he did a stellar job. He also worked as a React/Redux developer in the Core UI teams where he also did a great job. Always up to date with the latest trends and working with a smile on his face. Great developer and caring individual.
