Summary
Jeremy Shantz is a Software Development Manager with 12+ years of experience building and leading teams that deliver distributed systems, business process automation, and identity solutions. He combines hands-on C# and Python full‑stack development with product-minded leadership—comfortable switching between boardroom requirements and heads-down coding. Jeremy has led technical initiatives at Miovision and BlackBerry, architecting microservices, centralized logging, RabbitMQ clusters, and pragmatic identity migrations that saved significant cost and complexity. He pairs a data-curious mindset (Hadoop, Spark, R) and growing GIS skills with a talent for automating tedious work to free teams for higher-value problems. A lively planner and collaborator, he excels at taking hard problems from conception to production while mentoring engineers and keeping multiple projects aligned. Based in Waterloo, he brings a rare blend of operational experience and continuous-learning zeal, evidenced by data science coursework at Johns Hopkins and practical prototyping across analytics and SSO domains.
