Jon is a rockstar.

There are few developers I have met who can so clearly, concisely, and quickly deliver on projects as he can.

Jon has the rare ability as a developer to understand cost vs. effort and always work towards the best solution for your organization.

If you are looking for someone to deliver immediate business value, much needed front end skills, and a great attitude to your company. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jon.

Paolo Bettoni
Lead Engineer, YouCaring.com

Let's just say that when there was something to be done, most people wanted to assign it to Jon.

The reason is that they knew that it would get done, it would be done well and on time.

Jon is a master on everything front end, often coming up with insights and solutions that were just what we needed. On top of that he's easy to work with, a good team player, always positive and propositive. I am grateful that our paths have crossed and I hope they do so again in the future.
