“Jay is a rock star! Seriously... During my tenure as Product Owner at Vertigo Music, he worked on some of the most complicated problems we were trying to solve. In the midst of high stress situations, he doesn't allow himself to get bent out of shape. He is someone who has the ability to go heads down and get massive amounts of work done, while still keeping other team members in the loop (doesn't go dark). He has excellent written communication skills and would impress any Product Owner or Scrum Master with respect to his agile chops. He understands the importance of clean user stories and documentation for the sake of communication but maintains a perfect balance of getting things done and communicating with other team members. He is is very honest and up front when requirements need to change or something may not be accomplished as desired. He is an excellent organizer and can easily rally other team members towards a goal. Jay is fun! One could easily get into a conversation with Jay that lasts for hours talking about something interesting. I have been spoiled working with Jay and would jump at the opportunity to work with him again on any future team. ”

Discretion mobile app game
Discretion is a party game, meant to be played in-person, although there’s no technical reason why it can’t be done separately. At least three players compete by answering 10 yes/no questions, then guessing how many said yes.
The front end is built with Flutter. The backend is built on Firebase and Google Cloud.
