5 people have recommended Jason

"A really great web developer is hard to find these days. That is why I was really lucky to find Jason when

looking for an application engineer & architect role for my team. He is very knowledgable about every aspect

of the web development process, both front & backend. He can take a mock up of a website and turn it into a

fully functional & working website, while making sure to pay attention to every small detail along the way.

He requires very little direction. Once he is given a project, he knows exactly what needs to get done to make

it happen and he he gets it done quickly and, most importantly, efficiently. Jason is absolutely a valuable asset

to any web development or interface development team."

Paul Furiani, Founder & CEO, 11 Eleven Development, managed Jason at 11Eleven Development

"Jason is one of a kind. It is rare to find a UI Architect that understand web technologies (front-end and

back-end) the way he does. His ability to tackle complex front-end issues, specifically in JavaScript was A+.

If you are looking for someone who truly knows the inner workings of JavaScript/Ecmascript (Prototypal

Inheritance, OOP, Closures, Currying, Hoisting, etc), I highly recommend you pick Jason's brain. You will

not be disappointed."

Patrick Andre, Web Technologist, AOL Time Warner, worked with Jason at AOL

"Jason brings solid Object Oriented Programming experience to front end UI design never seen in any front

end UI engineer to date. We've worked together to blast away almost any Internet Explorer incompatibility

issues in AOL owned websites like tourtracker.com, music.aol.com and whereitsat.com. Jason is your go-to

UI guy for any UI related stuff from complex javascript objects to simple ruby-on-rails projects. Any

company looking for improving their websites for increased advertising revenue, you got your man!"

Prashant Kamat, Software Engineer, AOL, worked directly with Jason at AOL

"Working with Jason was a blessing. He is excellent at writing semantic unobtrusive code in nearly any

environment. His production code is also fast loading and neat. His UI/UX Ideas are groundbreaking, truly

unparalleled. I reccomend him to anyone who is looking for a truly captivating GUI that is fully intuitive with

minimal effort."

Joseph Nwachukwu, Web Design Content Editor, Weight Watchers, worked directly with Jason at

Weight Watchers

"Jason and i worked together on diffident projects over the course of our time together at weight watchers. He

Page5

was working as a Lead Engineer on a few projects with me and his work was spectacular. Jason always

worked hard to ensure that all of the code that he worked on was well written, well documented, and worked

great with all other code that was being used. He was always a pleasure to work with, his insight on coding

was to this day some of the best i have ever seen and his logic based ideas were the fantastic. Jason is an easy

going guy and loves to both constantly learn and improve but also loves to teach and help his peers grow, he

will be a great addition to any company or team that he works with."
