more about Jason...

I began programming when I was 10 years old on a Timex Sinclair with 2k of memory and a cassette recorder. In the summer of 1982 at age 11, I won "Most Dedicated to Programming" at a computer camp run on the American School for the Deaf campus in Hartford.

As an adult, I've developed a career as a consultant working for companies like General Electric, Aetna, Aetna Bermuda, ESPN, Mass. Mutual, Physicians Health Services, United Natural Foods, Inc., Pratt and Whitney and others. I was also a key programmer in a joint venture in 1998 involving the GAO, Aetna, Mutual of Omaha and the FBI. Their goal was to write a system specifically designed to search the Medi-Care claims databases for "anomalies" or "red flags" that suggested evidence of fraud and abuse. The system needed to find and show evidence that could lead to arrests and prosecution. Many arrests were made as a result of this system during the project and it is likely still working today.

In 2000, during the scramble over Y2K, I worked as a programmer for United Natural Foods. I watched as they paid several million dollars to a company which specialized in warehouse management software. This company had promised to write a system which would halt the ongoing loss of product due to the Y2K bug. After five months and nothing to show but a new HP/UX server, tensions were running high, and food was stagnating in storage. In a meeting with the head of the IT department, I convinced them to give me 30 days free of interference to create a system myself. In those 30 days I created a warehousing system that subsequently ran the entire east coast distribution, complete with Symbol brand scanning equipment support for the fork lifts, pickers' wrist units, and hand scanners. United Natural Foods was still using that system as of Nov, 2006 (confirmed).

More recently, I have been specializing in supporting and customizing leading brands of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software both as an employee and as a consultant. My frustration with the available systems and the problems they caused for my customers inspired me to write the Jegas Application Server and explore the vast potential of open-source applications such as vTiger CRM and OpenCRX. Through that endeavor, I have been able to bring the benefits of a fully featured, customizable CRM system to my customers without the painfully high up-front cost of commercial CRMs.

"In my experience as a programming enthusiast and a professional consultant, there are two fundamental truths: technology is always changing and people just want it to work right!"

more about Springli...

I spent my youth snuggled up with a succession of books, a habit which led me naturally to a BA in English from Central Connecticut State University in 1997. At that time, there was an apparent glut of English majors hitting the job market, so I spent several years in retail sales before moving into insurance. After 8 years in the industry, working first as a service/sales rep and then spending 4 years as a liability adjuster, I decided to change focus. I'm proud that I have been part of Jegas, LLC since it's inception, handling the business side of things while Jason does the coding. I am a compulsive editor & re-writer, a talent which is put to good use when putting together copy for websites.  When I am not working for Jegas. LLC, I am a busy mom and a part time student at CCSU, working towards my Master's Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy.

I recently became a part of the Jegas team as an administrative assistant. My goal is to always be an active participant and to help develop streamlined business processes behind the scenes. With direction from Jason Sage I am educating myself on the inner workings of computers and programming.  I am also the mother of two wonderful girls and I am currently enrolled in Manchester Community College.

more about Pat...

Mr. Patrick Parker Roach comes to us from a position as Director of Learning and Innovation at a boutique financial services company where he enjoyed a broad charter to evolve the firm into a learning organization and position the company for continued growth. The charter evolved into three major responsibilities; Corporate Culture, Technology and Business Processes. He is also an invited founding consulting member of the Society of Organizational Learning. He has developed a broad-based set of skills in the business and high technology arenas that he brings to every effort he participates in. These skills combine 30 years of experience spanning the domains of dialogue, organizational learning and development, business process reengineering, business development, knowledge engineering (Artificial Intelligence), computer science, educational design and delivery, and electrical engineering. His current focus is helping organizations develop and implement Organizational Learning and profound change strategies through dialogue, process consulting, and team-based action learning approaches. Dialogue because it is his sincere belief that organizational learning, innovation, and knowledge management are fundamentally dependant upon the ability of an organization's people to share their aspirations, visions, and mental models in deep and productive ways; process consulting because the approach is predicated upon building an honest and helping relationship with the people he is working with; and team-based action learning because project teams develop leadership and management skills in the context of solving their own critical business problems.

Mr. Parker-Roach volunteers in the Restorative Justice movement and facilitates Alternatives to Violence Project workshops in high security correctional centers. He is also a volunteer member of his town's IT Committee and is leading a re-engineering effort of their permitting process.

more about Arthur...

I am excited to be part of the Jegas sales & development team. I spent 7 years as an IT Analyst with the Poloroid Corporation, first in their corporate Desktop group & then in their Global Networking Group. We were constantly working on team projects such as new PBX systems or installing and setting up Cisco routers and switches. I obtained my Microsoft Certification (MCSA) in 2007, as well attaining A+, Network Plus and Microsoft Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) certifications. I feel that a key component of working in any IT Group is making sure that networking and computer problems do not impact our customer's business or our own. I live and work in Massachusetts with my wife & two daughters. I am also a certified instructor of Shoto-Kan Karate and Yoga.

“I worked with Greg at Bell Industries for five years, he was one of the most inventive web engineers I had worked with.

more about Ethan...

Encouraged from his youth on to pursue interests in the scientific field, Ethan has spent his entire life living and breathing technology. Beginning his college education at the age of 13 at Lassen College only strengthened his confidence and determination to be a fore-runner in the highly competitive technical field. Shortly after graduating from Lassen College in 1999, he was offered a position as an Information Technology Specialist from the very institution from which he was educated. Ethan's lifetime employment has positioned him in many technical fields including Computer Programming, Network Topology, Network Security, Database Administration, Systems Administration, Cellular Technology, Radio and Wireless Technology, Automation, Graphic Design and Project Management.

For Ethan, being a software engineer isn't a job or even a career, it is a way of life - resounding one of his favorite quotes by Aristotle: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.". His feelings on this matter are that this is something that you truly must have a passion for to be the best of the best - this is something, which must permeate your very way of life. To this day, Ethan continues to further his education with university classes.

In his free time Ethan enjoys studying Astronomy, Physics and Theology. Some of his hobbies include Painting, Reading, A/V Editing, Photography and Video Games.

more about Dominique...

I knew right before high school started which career path I wanted to take; graphic design. I've always taken an interest in photography and editing and chose to pursue those interests at Central Connecticut State University, where I obtained a BA in Graphic/Information Design in December 2008. I'm happy to be a part of Jegas, LLC and hope to bring a lot to everyone there. On my down time from design, my primary interests are in cars and motorcycles, which I've been interested in for many years. I love working with them, the excitement they bring, and learning more about them every day.
