Bio
Benjamin Verna-Asals
It was a pleasure working with Jared, he’s probably the most friendly person you’ll meet and his enthusiasm is infectious, making every meeting with him an absolute joy! He has strong technical skills and leadership skills, always willing to take lead in a situation when it is needed. The first day I joined his team he went out of his way to go over the high level architecture of our team’s domain at Top Hat and answered all of my questions with a deep understanding.

Jared is a phenomenal engineer. He joined us as an intern but acted more like a senior engineer. He always take initiative in helping other engineers out. He is a comedian, artist, engineer, DnD master all rolled into one. He brightens up the workplace with his charm. He is not only bright but also really hard working. I have seen countless times, when he worked overtime just so he can finish his own work early and then help out other engineers. There were many times, I was burdened with huge task and Jared was always there to help me out. I do miss working with him, and wish him great success for future
