Greetings, Program! My name is Jeremy Neander and I'm a software developer living in the Chicago area. I specialize in Ruby and Clojure, and pursue Android development on the side.
I'm currently a Resident Development Apprentice at 8th Light.

"Jeremy is awesome. Of all the students in my RenderMan class at the Academy of Art University, Jeremy was the among most vocal about the software's shortcomings. It wasn't exactly uncommon to complain about the constant crashes, lost data, fouled up renders, etc., but Jeremy was unique in that he didn't just complain, he thrived, creating one of the most ambitious and successful final projects: a sprawling cornfield blowing in the wind. Despite the rough edges of the pipeline, Jeremy learned how to make lemonade from lemons. When he returned to take my Massive Crowds Simulation class, boy was he shocked that software yet more unstable was being sold to the world's high end vfx studios. However this time, he knew the drill, preparing for a messy process, Jeremy created an impressive AI for a game of capture the flag complete with the appearance of formations and strategies. This is exactly the kind of environment engineers in industry often find themselves in, unreliable/mysterious processes, but tight deadlines, and Jeremy can handle it. He has a knack for tackling complex situations, calling out the problems, but producing top notch results none the less. I highly recommend Jeremy." February 27, 2012
