Bio
Jason Gilmore
I've had the pleasure of working with Ray for several years during my time at Konami. Ray is a very dedicated, detail-oriented and hard working individual that stops at nearly nothing to help make product the best it can be. Additionally, Ray has the keen forecasting sense to fully understand product requirements and how those requirements will impact development schedule and is quick to offer solutions to make product come to life on time. He is also a personable, professional, and respected manager that is very down to Earth in his handling of employees. Ray is a fantastic talent that comes with my highest recommendation.
