About Us
Founder: Jake Kakavros Ed.D.
Performance Evaluation Solutions, LLC was created by Dr. Jake Kakavros, an intervention specialist and career-tech educator who saw a need for a simpler, more consistent way to evaluate employability skills. After years of juggling paper rubrics and scattered data, Jake built PES from the ground up to give teachers a fast, clear, and reliable evaluation tool.
What began as a solution for his own students has grown over the past seven years into a platform used by hundreds of educators and thousands of students. PES reflects Jake’s experience in special education, CTE, and work-based learning, ensuring the system stays practical, efficient, and rooted in what educators truly need.
