About Jay Gerland

I have been around technology since I was a kid and began my career in computers while studying Computer Science at the University of Buffalo in the early 90\'s. In 1994, I was the first employee for After Five Technology, a local web design firm in Buffalo, NY. Shortly after that, I moved on to become the first Webmaster at Canisius College. Two years later I joined the startup Chek.com working on branded email solutions for companies such as Major League Baseball and Budweiser. Chek.com would eventually become Synacor, Inc. where I lead teams of developers building large-scale portals for the country\'s biggest Cable, ISP and OEM Manufacturers including Toshiba, Lenovo, Verizon, Charter, and Centurylink.Specialties: Engineering Management, Team Building, Platform Deployments, Front End Design Standards.
