A Conversation with Jarod Jenson

ABSTRACT

One of the industry's go-to guys in performance improvement for business systems is Jarod Jenson, the chief systems architect for a consulting company he founded called Aeysis. He received a B.S. degree in computer science from Texas A&M University in 1995, then went to work for Baylor College of Medicine as a system administrator. From there he moved to Enron, where he played a major role in developing EnronOnline. After the collapse of Enron, Jenson worked briefly for UBS Warburg Energy before setting up his own consulting company. His focus since then has been on performance and scalability with applications at numerous companies where he has earned a reputation for quickly delivering substantial performance gains. Recently, Jarod made a splash at JavaOne: he ran a booth to which attendees could bring their Java applications, and he guaranteed application performance improvements in under an hour.
