Colleagues describe him as "I'm a Software Engineering Manager at Apple and I've worked with Jake Baumgarten for years. Jake is an extremely talented software architect and is passionate about software design and execution. Jake's design skills played a crucial role in the rollout of many large-scale, cross-functional and impactful initiatives at Apple. Jake is articulate, thoughtful, and is able to sift through the noise to identify the most important aspects of a project or platform to focus on what matters. He has multiple decades of experience in the industry and it shows through the software he writes, meetings he attends, and his eye for detail without losing sight of the big picture. I can't recommend Jake enough. On top of his technical chops he is a phenomenal person and cares deeply about the teams he works with." and "I had the pleasure of reporting to Jake for a couple of years while we worked on shipping Schoolwork 1.0. What really stood out to me was how much he cared about his team. Jake put in the time with his directs (and even their directs) to get to know them. He brought a lot of experience and context from his decade plus tenure at Apple. He loved to be deeply involved in the technical aspects of the services we were shipping. I would love to work with Jake again in the future."
