Recommendations
Jeffrey is a fantastic engineering manager who was entrusted with leading some of the biggest projects at Routable. His ability to become a subject matter expert in any domain is exemplary.
What I love the most about Jeffrey, personally, is his ability to ask the "big questions" to ensure that the company is meeting their strategic objectives with our engineering resources.
Given the opportunity I would jump at the chance to work with Jeff again, in any capacity. He is an engineering leader I trust completely to be empathetic, build a great team, culture, and product, as well as get the most out of the people he works with, myself included.
Jeffrey brings really detailed, thoughtful, and insightful observations and feedback and provides really strong options for resolving issues and moving things forward. He looks beyond the surface and is very aware of underlying and systemic impacts of situations.
Jeffrey is definitely an engineering leader that I value and trust.
