I hired Jeff to work on my team at Sports Illustrated. We had the herculean task of rebuilding SI.com on Drupal 7. To make matters worse, we inherited an unfinished code base that was developed by a vendor who was let go from the project due to their constant delays and delivery of low quality code. 

This kind of challenge would have scared off a lesser developer (and it did scare off a few), but not Jeff. Jeff led our team in identifying areas of the code base that needed improvement, and was instrumental in shoring up these weak spots. While rebuilding SI.com, he also contributed to the 2014 Winter Olympics micro site, which had an extremely short development window. Both projects were released on time and with great praise.

It's never fun to inherit a project that is behind and riddled with issues, but if I ever find myself in that situation again, the first call I'm making is to Jeff.
