Swipht Leads

The fundamental conviction underlying the Swipht philosophy is that the people matter the most. As such, Swipht Technologies is more than process, technologies and methodology; it is a unique and unified community of developers, managers and designers whose blended talents help us deliver top notch solutions to our clients.

Jeff Jerome, Owner / Account Manager

Jeff was one FORTRAN course short of becoming an aerospace engineer before he decided to switch gears and pursue ethnographic film production. With post-baccalaureate work in Visual Anthropology and a B.A. in Journalism, Jeff started his media career making animated commercials for companies like Frito Lay and Dole.

He transitioned into the internet in 1999 and used his previous skills to revamp the management style at his former company, Rapidigm. Notably, “Jeff is one of the first creative focused resources here at Portland Solutions Center that was able to gain the respect of many with a more technical focused career," says John Homer from Rapidigm. Jeff’s balance approach and leadership skills enhance projects and client relationships alike. Jeff complements the Swipht team with his breadth of experience, interpersonal style, as well as his technical, managerial and creative know-how.

As the Account Manager (AM) for all of Swipht’s projects, Jeff uses the abilities and capabilities of available resources within the organization to design and deliver a software product of the highest quality that meets specifications, scheduling demands and budget constraints. The AM reviews and approves all deliverables and their approval is considered the official notification of milestone completion before the client review.
