"Jay demonstrates exceptional analytical thinking and technical problem-solving abilities. During his Master's program, he consistently delivered high-quality solutions and showed awesome leadership skills, leading teams during their intership phase of our Master's program. His ability to bridge complex technical concepts with practical applications makes him a great developer."

"Jay isn't merely a good developer but someone who cares deeply about getting it right. He is incredibly hard-working—I've seen him tackle complicated issues with poorly documented APIs and arrive at a working solution when others have failed. He does this through dogged determination, extensive research, and unshakeable faith that a solution can be found. Jay is also a joy to work with: kind, funny, and unflappably positive. I have worked with dozens of developers over my 20-year career in technology, and I would highly recommend Jay to any development team that needs an upbeat, capable team player to join its ranks."

"Jay brings exceptional leadership and mentoring skills to our whare. His mahi has been valuable in helping our tamariki rebuild and follow through with our kaupapa. His ability to multitask, work under tremendous pressure, all while maintaining a positive can-do attitude has set a great example for many of our new kaimahi."
