Jeremy began his IT career writing "Shadow IT" applications to automate his engineering documentation, then wandered into software development because it looked like more fun. Jeremy previously worked as a systems architect building mission critical supply chain software for a Fortune 100 company and learned agile development practices as a .Net consultant at ThoughtWorks, one of the pioneers of agile development. Jeremy is very active in the OSS community as the project leader of Marten (https://martendb.io) and the entire JasperFx family (https://github.com/jasperfx) of projects. Jeremy is also a frequent conference speaker and technical author on software design fundamentals, the .Net ecosystem, and automated testing. Jeremy's thoughts on just about everything software related can be found on his weblog "The Shade Tree Developer" at http://jeremydmiller.com.
