05 / ABOUT

Hi, I’m Jeremy.

I’m a Modern Work Architect in Microsoft FastTrack, focused on State & Local Government. Since joining Microsoft in 2018, I’ve worked across migrations, technical escalation, and architecture—helping customers move from a complex problem to a secure, supportable deployment.

I’m deepening that work in applied AI: how agents fit into real workflows, how to evaluate their behavior, and how to build systems people can trust. My independent projects give me a place to work through product decisions and share what I learn.

Based in Charlotte, NC, I’m driven by creativity and connection — whether I’m behind a camera, sketching a new idea, or recording for my podcast. Lifelong learner, occasional philosopher over a glass of wine.
