Summary
Jeremy Schrader is a senior engineering manager and full‑stack engineer with over a decade of experience building large-scale web and payments platforms for Venmo and PayPal. He blends hands-on Python and JavaScript development with technical leadership—driving migrations to federated GraphQL, CI/CD improvements, and observability at scale. Jeremy has led cross-organizational programs spanning ~40 teams to converge Venmo and PayPal identity and payments orchestration while also shipping AI tooling for secure Azure OpenAI integrations, embeddings, and RAG. He mentors teams on embedding AI into the SDLC, from Claude- and Copilot-based workflows to automated code review enhancements. Based in Olympia, WA, he pairs enterprise-grade delivery with a long history of consulting and open-source front-end work, and maintains academic curiosity through recent deep learning and machine learning specializations. An uncommon strength is his ability to operate as both a single-threaded program owner for multi-team initiatives and a hands-on builder who still writes the Python/JS tooling that moves projects forward.
