Donald Fraser
Tom provided timely, accurate, helpful responses to a variety of technology related questions. He is especially diligent at ensuring the resolution offered was complete, successful and resolved the problem. I often relied to Tom to provide solutions technology issues and concerns that required thinking and investigating outside the standard response sequence. Pleasant and enjoyable to work with.

In the industry that Jacobs Engineering deadlines are very important. We counted on our IT department a lot . Having a proficient knowledge and can-do attitude IT person is very important. This is why Tom was a great asset to the Cary Jacobs office. Several times while on a project in the field, Tom helped me with database problems that prevented the project from moving forward. Any company would reap great benefits from adding Tom to their team.

Jul 2017 - Nov 2018
At Rivercrest, I was part of a two person team that provided support both to a 35+ employee office, but also to remote offices in several states across the east coast. Using both phone support and remote access, I worked through troubleshooting issues while keeping internal employees calm and understanding their concerns. Due to the office's heavy use of the Yardi property management software, I both became proficient using the software and often worked as an intermediary between employees and Yardi support to fix employee issues while minimizing the amount of support needed from Yardi, keeping costs lower for the company. I also did various technical related tasks as needed, such as updating and maintaining the company website. Show less
