Jason Michaud is a R and D Engineer at Penumbra, Inc.. He possess expertise in android, device drivers, fpga, debugging. Colleagues describe him as "Jake is a spectacular engineer. Very quickly after being hired at Atrium, Jake identified a gross inefficiency in "anomaly discovery" which is part of the process Atrium uses to generate insights that are surfaced to sales managers through the Atrium software. Jake wrote a design document describing his improvement, which was very clearly written and well-explained, and then went on to implement his solution in parallel to the existing system, to ensure that all the results were correct. (They were.) In the end, Jake's improvement resulted in a ~50x speedup (with no loss of data or accuracy) which made it possible for Atrium's systems, which up to that point had been chronically back-logged performing anomaly calculations, to catch up and *stay* caught up. Not only was the process 50x faster (so what used to take 100 seconds would now take 2), but Jake's improvement also consumed significantly less database and memory resources. It was epic. Shortly after completing this work, Jake was laid off along with several other people including me. I would work with Jake again. I would hire Jake if I could. I think any company would be lucky to have such a talented, smart, engineer on staff.", "Jake is a very conscientious developer. He thinks deeply about all parts of a system and how they fit together. I was often impressed with his insights into how changes would impact the system as a whole or what changes needed to be made to make the pieces fit together correctly. He dove into and understood the subtleties of the technology we worked with, like Apache Kafka or OAuth, despite often being fairly new to it. As a manager Jake was a great "servant leader". He was an advocate for the team and trusted us to do our jobs. I enjoyed our one-on-ones even when there wasn't a lot of "work stuff" to talk about.", and "Having worked with Jason across two vastly different startup ventures, I highly recommend Jason. Jason lead several key initiatives at Juvo - managing team efforts and delivering key new product offerings."
