Schon während meines Studiums im Bereich Wirtschaftsingeneurwesen habe ich die enorme Wichtigkeit von Daten in Unternehmen erkennen dürfen. Um die richtigen strategischen Entscheidungen treffen zu können, ist es jedoch nicht nur wichtig Daten zu haben und zu horten, sondern mit diesen auch schnell und zielgerichtet zu arbeiten, ganz egal um welchen Geschäftsbereich es sich handelt. Während meiner zahlreichen Projekte als Consultant durfte ich erfahren, welche Mehrwerte die richtigen Kennzahlen und die richtigen Visualisierungen für Unternehmen bieten können.

I'm currently the Lead Software Engineer for UpCloud's Managed Kubernetes service (UKS). I have a passion for tackling complex problems in order to make life simpler for users. At the moment, that takes the form of leveraging Kubernetes controllers and operators in globally distributed environments. Kubernetes is a fantastic platform, but I feel it is our job as engineers to take that next step, and building abstractions on top of it to simplify the setup for our end users.

I have a diverse technical background, ranging from electrical engineering, abstract mathematics, and regulated medical devices and systems. I love finding that magical moment in software design when abstract concepts become reality through implementation. In my free time, I am often building hobby programming languages, compilers, and operating systems.

I am originally from the US, but have lived in Helsinki, Finland for the past 11 years with my wife and 4 year old son. We love being out in nature, and travelling the world together. Cooking allows us to re-live those experiences and is something we find ourselves looking forwards to.

Jeremiah Landi started his career as a “GO’FER” in an architecture firm (98’) and made his way into an animatronics creator for shows like Phantom of the Opera (10’); little did he know that the skills he picked up along his journey would play very synergistically within a highly technical, rigid world and within the Government Bureaucracy, even putting him in front of the US Congress (08’).

Throughout his career, he has traveled the world working in a range of different project environments (Nobel Prize to ESPN) and cultural environments having worked through both the “America's” and all around Europe (with a little Asia).

He enjoys bringing dynamic thought processes and design first problem-solving to many different companies now through his own company deploying products (i.e.military helicopter fuel pumps, basketball medical devices) and Modified Agile Hardware Development (MAHD). The company he started back in 2016 now spans from physical manufacturing (i.e. stamping, welding, 3D printing) to algorithmic software development (i.e. traveling salesman); so it is easy to say the problems he solves aren’t easily fixed in a remote world.
