Jeremy Whelchel

Growing up, I was a competitive swimmer, and I spent hours in the pool each week. Today I’m into more fringe dimensions of the sport: I’ve done ice swims in frozen lakes, 19 mile swims down the Hudson River, and a swim around Manhattan. I always push myself to take on new, unexpected challenges.

Jeremy joined the GV engineering team in 2014, based in New York City. He has expertise in big-data pipelines, machine learning, and implementing engineering best practices.

Jeremy was an ads engineer at Google for over seven years. He used machine-learning systems to predict click through rates on Google shopping, analyzed ad auctions to provide advertisers with insights, and built Google’s high-volume display ad serving system. Most recently, he led the storage team for Google’s big-data analysis platform.

Jeremy graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a B.S. in computer science and a B.A. in philosophy. In his free time, Jeremy enjoys flying airplanes and swimming in the waters around Manhattan.
