My name is Jeremy Curcio, I’m a software engineer currently working at Login.gov as an Integration Engineer, splitting my time between supporting partners to develop their integrations and writing code to support the mission. I’ve been developing software professionally for 12 years, with the last 6 years being working in Ruby. Outside of work, I am very involved with my kids by coaching their baseball, soccer, and basketball teams, as well as being President of their schools’ PTA.
