I worked with Jess both at Aerohive Networks and AirDefense. Jess is one of the best engineers I have ever had the opportunity to work with. He has an amazing ability of making all customers and prospects feel they are his top priority before and after the sell.

Jess was the technical engineer at AirDefense. He was assigned to our account in the pre-sales stage and worked extensively with me throughout the sales and post-sales / support process. Jess is extremely personable and easy to work with, as well as being highly knowledgeable when it comes to wireless technology. I would highly recommend Jess for any technical position.
