Before Jeremy Harris wrote a line of production code, he pumped gas into airplanes.

That was just one stop on a career path that also included greenhouse cashier, tire shop technician, metal fabricator, and stock clerk. Jeremy is the first to admit none of it was planned—and all of it mattered. Every job before IT taught him something about people, and at its core, working with people is what motivates him today.

Jeremy joined WellSky through the Corridor Group and came up through healthcare IT the long way: help desk, reporting, application support, RPA, ETL, and eventually software development. He does not have a four-year degree. Instead, he has a decade and a half of learning on the job, a series of managers who gave him room to grow, and an instinct for absorbing whatever the problem in front of him requires. "I don't feel that I've had a role at all since I entered IT," he reflects. "I've simply been put in front of challenges and told to meet them."

Today, as a senior software engineer supporting WellSky AOS coding, Jeremy brings something formal credentials do not always teach: the ability to close the distance between technology and the people who use it every day. He describes himself as less technically deep than many of his peers and more than willing to make up for it by being personable, available, and relentlessly detail-oriented. That combination earned him the Client First award, a recognition that meant a great deal to someone whose greatest motivation is making other people's jobs a little easier.

That curiosity extends well beyond software. Jeremy spends time outside of work diving into metabolism research, dopamine, and the science behind the keto and intermittent fasting routine he recently adopted after deciding to take his health seriously. He describes the results as life-changing. Professionally, his current learning tool of choice is Claude, which he describes as a dream because it never gets tired of answering questions.

Outside of work, he has kept a weekly Dungeons & Dragons group going for nearly a decade, stays connected with an online circle of gaming friends, and has recently added early morning walks to his routine. It is a quiet, consistent kind of life built around good conversations, good food, and the people he has collected along the way.

Jeremy grew up attending church and charity events with his family, and somewhere in that upbringing developed the belief that everyone is on their own journey and deserves a measure of grace. At WellSky, he says he found a place big enough to keep growing and filled with people who take their work seriously for the right reasons.
