I had the pleasure of working with Jared for over a year and was able to trust and rely on him immediately. Jared was a key player on multiple projects simultaneously and although, Jared and I worked remotely, he was always very communicative and proactive with his work, which helped make all our projects run smoothly. Jared is top talent, he has always been the person to go to too help figure anything out and with Jared, anything is truly possible to get done, and it's always done in an effective and precise manner using only best practices. Any team would be lucky to have Jared.
I have used several of Jared's Android apps, and they are all excellent and well-designed. They provide an incredible amount of power and functionality for a very reasonable price, and are invaluable for advanced Android users. I would also add a fourth attribute to the ones previously listed - Jared is very responsive and highly oriented toward customer service.
