I worked alongisde Jas for a period approaching two years. Jas's role at the time encompassed leading a team ranging from four to six people, for a transition project from an incumbent supplier across to Logica UK. This presented several challenges and I was witness to how Jas approached the task in hand. Jas has an excellent and fine tuned technique of soliciting requirement details. On this particular project, I was able to see that Jas was able to apply this skill by extracting out some detailed background notes of the existing infracstructure and environments to help ensure a very smoot transition. In addition to his normal duties, Jas took on the management of a new office that had been set up to aid in the transition project. Given that this was a secure project and access to the office and environments had to be strictly controlled, Jas was able to do this very ably - attested by security reviews of the operational environment giving it the all clear. Whenever he had the opportunity to do so, Jas was able to demonstrate sound technical skills - culminating in several complex Linux shell and awk scripts being deployed to the live support environment. I would certainly recommend Jas as sound, stable individual and good team player to potential employers/projects.
