Jeremy, thanks for your tenacious dedication to the Engineering team. You are an inspiring leader, and working with you has been a transformative experience for me, professionally and personally.

Few people have the opportunity to report to a Web Engineering Director who is also a coach and a mentor— but I did when I worked with Jeremy at Sq1. Jeremy was well-organized with all of the agency's projects and always tried to go out of his way to perfect each of the clients' setups no matter how much effort that would take. I was particularly impressed with Jeremy's passion for development work during and after work hours. He was always taking his time after work to contribute to the community with his open-source projects. His ability to juggle multiple projects and still be focused and offer help to his interns was unlike any I've seen or heard of before.

Jeremy would be a great asset to any team!

Jeremy transformed our engineering organization at Evosus. When he joined, we had a single development team handling all aspects of our product. He reorganized us into multiple specialized teams, each with clear ownership and purpose. Jeremy carefully considered team composition, skill sets, and product domains to create units that could operate with both autonomy and alignment.

The impact was significant. By creating focused teams, we developed deep institutional knowledge in critical areas of our platform, and team members became true experts in their domains. Beyond the technical benefits, working in smaller, purpose-driven groups fostered stronger connections and collaboration. Any organization looking to scale their engineering function would benefit from Jeremy's leadership and strategic vision.

I had the privilege of working with Jeremy as his supervisor during his tenure as a Director of Software Engineering at NV5. Jeremy Kenedy is an exceptional leader and an asset to any organization fortunate enough to have him on their team.

During his time NV5, Jeremy Kenedy consistently demonstrated a remarkable blend of technical expertise, leadership acumen, and unwavering commitment to achieving our organization\'s goals. One of Jeremy Kenedy\'s most outstanding qualities is his ability to lead teams. Jeremy has a lot of experience managing software engineers, but this role had additional challenges as many of our engineers were dispersed worldwide. His leadership style encouraged open communication, idea sharing, and a strong sense of ownership among the team, leading to increased productivity and a more engaged workforce. One tactic he took when he felt like he was getting low engagement in meetings was establishing a rotation of who would lead the meeting. This instantly improved the dynamic and helped reinforce the culture of team leadership.

Jeremy Kenedy has a deep technical knowledge that sets him apart as a software engineering leader. He possesses a comprehensive understanding of software development methodologies, programming languages, and emerging technologies. Jeremy isn't just a leader who might have coded long ago. He continues to stay active with projects in GitHub and can actually relate better to his engineers as he truly understands the details and nuances of the work he is asking his teams to perform.

Jeremy is an outstanding communicator and collaborator. He has a unique ability to bridge the gap between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring that project objectives are well-defined and aligned with the company\'s strategic goals. He receives and implements feedback well. Our leadership team was blessed to have access to an Agile Coach, and Jeremey met regularly with her and was committed to continuous improvement and agile methodologies.

Jeremy Kenedy\'s dedication to his own professional development and the growth of his team is truly commendable. In one instance, Jeremy advocated subscription access for our engineering contractors to have access to mature resources for software development. This not only enhanced the skills of individual team members but also contributed to the overall strength and capability of our software engineering department. Jeremy earned the trust of the engineering team by continuing to advocate on their behalf and ensure they feel supported.

In summary, Jeremy Kenedy is an exceptional Director of Software Engineering who consistently delivered outstanding results at NV5. His leadership, technical expertise, and commitment to excellence left an indelible mark on the organization.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jeremy Kenedy to any organization seeking a dynamic and visionary leader in the field of software engineering.

Jeremy is an extraordinary engineering leader and mentor. Having worked under his guidance, I've seen firsthand how he consistently puts people first—always approachable, empathetic, and genuinely invested in supporting growth across his team.

His vision is clear and strategic. He brings a strong technical foundation to the table, actively contributing to code, staying current with best practices, and deeply understanding what it takes to reinforce secure, maintainable systems. He balances innovation with stability, always pushing for cleaner code and pragmatic architectural improvements.

Apart from being a great person, Jeremy is a trusted mentor, a technically savvy leader, and someone who cares deeply about his team's growth and well-being. He'd be a powerful asset to any organization. I hope our roads cross again at some point.

It was a blast to work with Jeremy! He brings his energy, technical skills and support for his team every day. He brightens meetings with his energy and encourages participation in fun ways. His attitude is particularly valuable with remote work when voluntary participation is less common. He is closely involved with his teams while letting them operate independently. His management style really seems to enable and support productive work in a positive work environment.

He is an active developer as well. I've seen many of the projects he's worked on. He keeps his technical skills sharp and can pick up new technology quickly - and enjoys it!

As an indirect report to Jeremy I always felt I could go to him for support. He was eager to help and unblock issues if I ran into anything. He was reliable and made me feel welcomed when I first arrived.

I recommend Jeremy to any company looking for energy, technical prowess, and a supportive leader in their technical leadership.

Jeremy is a great manager and lead developer. He is extremely knowledgeable about code and development ecosystems and is constantly learning more.

I can't count the times he has come into work ready and excited to share with us something new he learned the night before.

As a manager, Jeremy puts his developers first. That doesn't mean he does whatever we want, but it's clear that every decision he makes is with our best interests at heart. He encourages us and helps us grow as developers, and he has fostered an incredible, collaborative culture on our team.

I had the privilege of working under Jeremy while I was a JR Product Owner on the mobile team. Jeremy has a knack for balancing deep technical insight with a calm, human approach to leadership — the kind that makes even the most complex challenges feel solvable (and somehow even fun).

What stood out most was how Jeremy led with clarity and trust. He gave our team space to experiment, learn, and take ownership, but was always there with guidance when we needed it. Under his direction, our mobile team not only delivered high-impact functionality but also grew stronger in collaboration, strategy, and craftsmanship.

Jeremy doesn't just build great products he builds great teams. If you're looking for a leader who inspires confidence, drives excellence, and still knows when to drop a well-timed joke in stand-up, Jeremy is that person.

After meeting Jeremy for the first time, I was both impressed and looked forward to him being a part of the department's leadership. From the get-go Jeremy constantly strove to improve everything he could. He would not just listen to concerns, but actively seek to remedy any and every issue brought to his attention. Jeremy truly led by example, demonstrating professionalism in every interaction and taking ownership of finding solutions. Not only was Jeremy a great manager by lifting others up around him and inspiring confidence, but he also has valuable technical knowledge and is a fantastic developer. His many open-source contributions to the Laravel community make it obvious how passionate he is about the work in this industry. Jeremy loves what he does, and has the uncanny ability to make that enthusiasm rub off onto others. I am thankful to have had Jeremy as my manager and am convinced he could excellently perform any position in this industry.

Jeremy is an incredible person to work for, and he has had a positive impact on our entire department. He cares about each person and works hard to ensure they are happy, motivated, and given opportunities to work on projects they care about. He is consistently upbeat and cheerful even when under stressful pressure to meet a deadline.

In addition to his great attitude, Jeremy is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever worked with. I have never had a boss who was willing to dig into the details of a project himself and find technical solutions when we encountered a problem. He fully understands both the technology and the process to build great software. I am thrilled that I get to work with him on a regular basis since he is such a valuable addition to our team.

I am pleased to have the privilege to recommend Jeremy Kenedy as an outstanding leader in the software engineering field. I had the pleasure of working directly under Jeremy's supervision during my time at Evosus.

Jeremy is a highly dedicated and skilled engineering leader with a deep understanding of software development processes. He excels at organizing and leading cross-functional teams, ensuring seamless collaboration between product owners, developers, and QA engineers. His experience helped increase efficiency of product delivery from ideation to deployment. His expertise with Agile/Scrum methodologies and branching strategies were key in driving forward process improvements for our teams.

Beyond his technical skills, Jeremy is an exceptional communicator that fosters a positive and supportive work environment, encouraging open dialogue between him and his team members. His commitment to professional growth is evident in his continuous learning and willingness to share his expertise. He is constantly reading a new book or coding outside of work in order to continue to add skills to his toolbelt. He also prioritizes the development of his team members, providing opportunities for learning and advancement.

I strongly recommend Jeremy for any organization seeking a talented and dedicated engineering leader. He is a valuable asset to any team and will make a significant impact at whatever organization is fortunate enough to have him.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeremy from the very beginning of my time at Evosus in early 2024. As the Director of Engineering, he played a pivotal role in shaping not only the direction of the development team but also in fostering a collaborative and productive environment.

Jeremy has a rare blend of strong leadership and deep technical understanding. He consistently demonstrated the ability to manage people with empathy and clarity, ensuring that each team member felt supported and aligned with broader company goals. At the same time, his technical acumen meant he could dive into the details of a project, understand the challenges developers were facing, and provide meaningful guidance without overstepping.

I'm grateful to have worked under his leadership and would strongly recommend him for any future role as an engineering leader—any team would be lucky to have him.

Jeremy came on board when the development team (and the company) was at its peak expansion. We were transitioning from a small agency to a national corporation and gaining more large-scale complex dev projects. We were in dire need of someone to help our systems and processes grow up to meet the demand of our projects.

Jeremy quickly took the helm of leadership and implemented improved coding standards, version control, security, and more for our team. He was an incredible mentor as well as manager to the developers and consistently demonstrated that he had their backs.

He never hesitated to help someone when it was asked and saved my butt on numerous occasions. He's fiercely passionate about his role, keeps his employees' best interests at heart in all that he does, and encourages high standards for those around him. In addition to that, our clients loved him!

I highly recommend Jeremy, who was my engineering manager at NV5. He demonstrated exceptional leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to team growth. Jeremy led our team through complex projects with skill and efficiency, ensuring deadlines were met without sacrificing quality. A standout example of his leadership was during development on the inSITE project.

Beyond technical skills, Jeremy was a supportive mentor who provided constructive feedback and encouraged professional development. He fostered a collaborative environment and valued open communication, keeping our team aligned and motivated.

In short, Jeremy brings a rare combination of technical proficiency and leadership. I'm confident he will be an asset in any future role.

Jeremy is the manager we'd always needed in our office. His programming knowledge has been a huge benefit for our team! Jeremy has a great ability to not only get the job done very well, but to also teach all of the other developers with clarity and patience. Jeremy strives to support, and encourage, best practices across the board with whatever language or technology he works with; be it Laravel, vanilla PHP, SASS, JavaScript, etc.

Jeremy is always finding new ways to improve his work which, in turn, pushes all of us to improve ours. Though the development field is ever-changing, and doing so quickly, Jeremy always seems to be at the forefront of new ideas. His pure excitement can be seen through the work he does on his own and on the job. This excitement is contagious!

Beyond Jeremy's highly technical skills and breadth of development knowledge, he is a clear communicator between the development team, project managers, account executives, and clients. His ability to clearly define system requirements, scope work, and provide exceptional feedback truly encapsulates his skill and leadership.

I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work so closely with Jeremy as my boss, a friend, and a mentor!

His leadership drives both technical excellence and team cohesion. Any organization would be fortunate to have Jeremy on board!!

While working for FocusVision Worldwide Inc I had the opportunity to work under Jeremy. Jeremy's approach to management was to act as our peer in most respects. He did all he could to advocate for his team members, whether it be to push educational opportunities like conferences, helping us set our yearly goals, or giving advice on how to handle various social issues within teams. Because of the mutual respect Jeremy inspired among his team members, we all wanted to work just a little bit harder for him.

Aside from his management chops, Jeremy is a coding machine. It only takes a quick glance at his github to see this guy is outputting an almost unbelievable amount of contributions to the open source community. Any team would be lucky to have Jeremy on it.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeremy for the past two years at Evosus. Over this time I can say that Jeremy has been excellent to work with. From day one, Jeremy demonstrated strong leadership, clear communication, and a deep commitment to both team development and business goals.

Because he came from a technical background he seemed to have no issue with assisting in different high level projects and giving advice on how to proceed. What stands out most about him is his ability to lead with empathy while driving results. He created a supportive team environment where everyone felt heard, motivated, and empowered to do their best work.

Jeremy is not only a strategic thinker but also an inspiring leader. Any team would be lucky to have him, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.

I worked with Jeremy for a year or so while I was at Sq1. While we worked on separate teams (I led our UX team, he led the Dev team), our projects often overlapped. It didn't take long to see that Jeremy is truly passionate about his work. He loves what he does, and it shows.

Personally, I value that quite highly. You can train someone up to get experience, but it's difficult to instill a passion for the work. It's a quality that helps him excel in his work and lead his team of developers.

I enjoyed working with Jeremy whenever the opportunity arose, and I'd welcome the chance to do so again in the future!

I worked with Jeremy at Rubicon International. He worked on a few different projects. One project was our main web application, which needed updates to the user interface.

Jeremy improved the styling and layout. We also needed a token authentication service for an API we built and he provided that for us in a timely manner. He provided good documentation for the service.

He was eager to find other ways to help with the projects.
