Jed Fonner’s Summary
Experienced engineering manager with over 4 years of experience building rich, J2EE, web-based applications for large government and commercial clients. I am currently managing my company's effort to expand into the on-demand, SaaS model of software delivery. I have experience managing teams that range from 3 to 15 people. I began my career as a developer and remain very technical. This makes me better able to evaluate designs, accurately estimate level of effort for features, and coach new developers.
