“Simply put, Jake is amazing. He worked on my team full-time at Cisco Systems for several years while he was a student at Duke University. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit, and at a time of great change within the company, Jake managed to invent a software platform, write a patent for it, and subsequently win the company-wide global innovation competition. He then oversaw the work of several other engineers to implement his platform.”
