Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJeremy Bowman is a senior engineering manager with 11 years of experience leading Python/Django teams and improving developer experience at scale. He has managed large cross-functional engineering organizations—most recently at Capital One and previously at edX where he led 20 engineers across developer experience, architecture, and QA. Jeremy pairs hands-on backend and DevOps work (contributions to high-profile open source like setuptools and multiple Open edX projects) with organizational fixes that cut CI time, flaky tests, and maintenance overhead by large margins. His specialty is applying a developer’s debugging and optimization instincts to processes and tooling, delivering measurable reductions in technical debt and release time. He holds MS and BS degrees from MIT and is fluent in Japanese, which he leverages for cross-cultural collaboration and offshore team coordination. Colleagues praise him for turning platform-level problems into repeatable, automated solutions that scale.
