I have worked with Jac for over 2.5 years at BlueCoat/Symantec. It seems to me that UX Designers are always trying to prove their worth to management, but never to the actual developer who relies on them wholeheartedly. I am a Senior Web Engineer and found that I relied on Jac. Jac in turn was 110% reliable and provided direction and help with every twist and turn of the projects we worked on together. Not only was Jac technically capable of any project or problem we had, he was also very patient in explaining and working with others. Jac was hard working and would think about problems over night and come back with better solutions.

Jacob was a person that I always knew would get the job done, and do it well. I can recall on several occasions personally witnessing Jacob sacrificing his time out of devotion to seeing his company succeed, and that his best work was put forward. He would be a great asset for anyone to have.
Working with Jac was a true pleasure in a high pressure environment. Jac is thorough in his approach to problems, and his design skills were, on occasion, what kept our company on track to the next milestone. Jac's personal charisma and level-headed work ethic fostered creative solutions and boosted morale consistently through demanding projects. I would highly recommend him to any team that would like to succeed in the technology industry.
Jac has a unique way of looking at communication from the creative standpoint and is not afraid to think out of the box. I found it refreshing to have someone challenge traditional thinking and constantly say "what if we did it this way". If you are looking for someone that will give you an honest and different perspective on your project I would definitely consider engaging Jac.
