"Jason's quality of work continues to exceed expectations. He has increased his knowledge by studying a CMTS (cable modem termination system) for establishing a network for cable equipment and future Gas and Water uses also. Jason's technical understanding in many cases can overwhelm many people, however, he shows patience when explaining. He cooperates well with fellow employees and supervisors. When presented with a request, he explains what is involved and presents the best solution, but stays conscious of the impact on the established security measures put in place. This, at times, can present problems for those who do not understand this impact. With this demonstation of patience, he continues to explain the best way he can and provides a best case solution. He is always looking for areas of technology his expertise can help improve. Jason shows leadership and displays this while helping Colleagues. His leadership expands beyond our Department. He has become a leader demonstrating best practices for our SCADA networks and has lead the way for the Cable Modem Network. He has demonstrated ability to make rational decisions even while under pressure. I continue to rely on Jason's expertise in many areas of the Department. The Network Administrator is responsible for the wellness of the network. He has dedicated a lot of time and effort towards security and design of the network. He is also relied upon for break/fix issues that could not be resolved by anyone else. Jason is a great asset for us at Riviera Utilities and we are proud to have him on board."

"Jason has a very broad knowledge base in many areas of IT Management and Network Design. He is a great person to work with and is very professional."
"Jason made outstanding contributions to an embedded Linux project we worked on together. He is a diligent and skilled engineer who takes initiative to confront challenging problems. I would not hesitate to include him on any team requiring expert level talent."
"I have known Jason for 10+ years and has always been there to solve our tough Linux, Cisco and complex routing issues. He has always been there for me and BIS. I recommend Jason Ellison to anyone who has a challenging project who needs a thorough and intelligent individual that will do the job completely - and have it fully documented. He is a solutions providers dream."
"We were in the process of implementing Nagios monitoring solution for our group and came upon the plugin for OpenManage written by Jason Ellison which is also OpenSource. We had issues with making it to work because we used Nagios Appliance not software based Nagios with heterogeneous windows and redhat clients. Jason Ellison was kind enough to help us understand our requirement delve into its details and advise us the best possible solution to make it to work.
I highly recommend Jason for his knowledge, quick response, collaborative approach and prompt and correct advice; I'm sure will work with him again."

"Jason Ellison was able to analyze our unconventional wired and wireless networks at a granular level; he then made the changes and upgrades to improve the overall network stability and availability. Jason worked with our employees and vendors to not only resolve the immediate issue but his documented research and recommendations have become part of our standard operating procedures.
I highly recommend Jason Ellison's services."
"Jason Ellison helped design and implement a Linux server layout that provides flexible, and reliable service for our customers spread out across North America. In dealing with Jason Ellison, we were provided with practical superior knowledge, and a good sense of humor. I would recommend him under any circumstances, and look forward to working with him in the future."
"I have worked with Jason for over 5+ years. He is a top notch IT professional who enjoys his work and is willing to do what it takes to complete a project. I highly recommend Jason. He thrives in challenging environments."
"Jason Ellison has provided assistance with out network gear (Cisco ASA 5500 and 2800 series Router HP Procurve Switchs). I can not overstate the ease at which Jason was able to accomplish the tasks we provided him. I would recommend Jason for any network analysis, routing, and switch configuration jobs available. However this is only one sliver of his knowlege. He is very adept with Radio Wave Transmissions, Linux and it's many flavors as well as network monitoring software."

"This letter is my personal recommendation for Jason Ellison. I worked with Jason for over 5 years and during that time we have collaborated together on a number of projects. Jason’s knowledge and understanding with networking infra-structure, both in Windows and open systems (Linux) environments, is rivaled by few. His experience with Data Center Operations includes Automated Processing and Control, Network Design and Maintenance, and Second and Third Level Problem Diagnosis and Resolution. During my association with Jason, I have seen him function and excel in a wide range of business IT environments. These include working with small- and medium-sized companies where providing functional IT support means doing anything and everything (i.e. “a one-man shop”), to working as a key member of a Fortune 30 Enterprise where a more structured and collaborative approach is the norm as thousands of IT professionals work together to achieve a common goal. In all of these environments, Jason has proved himself to be innovative and productive, approachable and easy to work with. It is my pleasure to recommend Jason for inclusion on any IT related project, most especially in the areas of infra-structure and networking. Please feel free to contact me for further information"
"Jason is a sharp mind with a decent background in wireless systems and networking in general.His knowledge in Unix systems is a great advantage for him and his ability in exploring workarounds for problems make him a valuable part for every team."
"I consider Jason one of the foremost experts I know. He is, without a doubt, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dependable. I would recommend him without hesitation for any task, simple or extraordinarily complex."
