Jay brings multi dimensional problem solving capabilities along with passion and urgency to complex software communications and development projects. Jay did this when other, larger software engineering firms could not. Jay’s tasks were to visualize and develop the software needed for our concept, do whatever it took to get the project completed which included science, fluid dynamics, animal behavior, IoT, patent development, engineering all in an R&D environment, and attend meetings with 3rd party companies to glean out what was and was not needed for our company’s goals. Jay then demonstrated the solution he developed to the International level of Microsoft securing our partnership with Microsoft. Along the way Jay spotted potential problems highlighting them to management and clearing up bottlenecks. We have very high regard for Jay and know he will do great things for other companies with visions that need to become a reality.” -M.B. -CFO
