Every so often – perhaps once or twice in a decade - one encounters an engineer of Jake’s caliber. In nearly two decades of professional software development spanning a variety of Fortune 25 clients, I have had the luxury of working with engineers of Jake’s caliber just twice. He is an extraordinary talent that deserves recognition, and someone I would recommend without hesitation for any project. Jake is a tremendous talent who barely blinks at the responsibility of managing multi-million dollar projects. He is a consummate professional who spends an inordinate amount of time researching the latest technologies. He is always focused on the client, and he demonstrates an engineering discipline woefully lacking in most development shops. Jake is one of those rare talents that I would hire without hesitation, and without an interview. If you have the opportunity of adding him to your team, pounce. People like Jake are few and very far between.

      I was a Software dev at this company. Initially I worked on setting up print to mail jobs for fulfillment. Later in my time at this company I worked with another developer in re-writing the inventory management system in VB6 backended on SQL Server. Also we later added a web front end in ASP.NET which allowed customers to place orders for release and view current inventory stocks. I was a Software dev at this company.
