Jeremiah Peschka is a seasoned software engineer and technical leader with 15 years of experience modernizing large codebases and building data- and database-focused monitoring platforms. He has led teams at Stack Overflow and Redgate to decompose monoliths, establish reusable service patterns, and introduce disciplined tech-debt and modernization roadmaps that improved stability and delivery cadence. Hands-on across back-end, automation, and observability, Jeremiah has contributed to well-known open-source projects like the SQL Server First Responder Kit and rustup, including implementing telemetry and performance tooling. He combines an MS in Computer Science with a maker’s sensibility—recently training in furniture building—which underscores a practical, craft-oriented approach to engineering. Comfortable mentoring across levels, he blends customer-focused product work with low-level technical depth, from SQL Server internals to cloud-native architecture. Relocating to the US in November and based in Rockport, Maine, he’s currently exploring design-and-build work alongside ongoing software projects.
