Jerry and I were colleagues at Qualcomm/Omnitracs. Jerry is a very talented, creative and organized engineer. He brings his positive attitude and sense of humor to the team, which makes him a perfect coworker. Jerry is very knowledgable in software engineering field and has plenty of hands-on experience. He picks up new technology quickly and can always think out of box to find the solution. I believe he will become a great asset to the team he's joining.

Jerry's great sense of humor and dedication to his work makes him a superb colleque. He is able to multi-task effortlessly and he is always looking for ways to improve our processes. While working to make several different functional groups happy at the same time, his ability to prioritize and follow-through are uncanny. If I were own a business, I'd want Jerry on my staff!
