He ROCKS! I had a pleasure to work with Jon last 15 months. Within him I found a great leader, superior mentor and unbeatable friend. He has created significant impact in terms of the ROI on the contributions he has given to the Microsoft Windows MSGE group. Jon is techno savvy, he loves to code and review, also facilitate and create opportunities for team to grow and develop. One of the examples, when Analytics and Insights team was in a crunch executing the Customer Journey Portal (CJP) project at Microsoft, he pulls the sleeves and start coding as lead developer. Leaning Angular in a short time frame, he developed the Angular-based front-end that allows consumers to comprehensively understand how Microsoft’s customers are navigating through the support ecosystem. This robust system enables consumers to effortlessly execute advanced data analytics that can identify points of friction in the support ecosystem. In a nutshell, Jon is one of the best managers I had so far, any team would be lucky to have him as their manager. He is versatile in many big data technologies like HDInsight, Kusto, Azure Data Warehousing, Azure Data Lake, Power BI dashboards, SSAS cubes, and many other data-centric visualizations. I'd love to work with Jon again!"
