Hi, I’m Jeremy McSpadden.

I’ve spent more than two decades shipping software and keeping it running. I started on Windows shops in the mid-2000s, picked up security somewhere along the way, and landed where I am now — running Flux Labs, a managed IT and cybersecurity practice for small businesses on the Florida Panhandle.

The day job grounds the Open GSD roadmap. The same discipline that keeps a clinic’s patient data safe and a law firm’s files honest also keeps a Friday-night auto-mode session from going off the rails: verified work, honest documentation, and a recovery path that actually works when something breaks.

Open GSD itself started after a hard chapter — the kind where trust got broken and a lot of people got hurt. The full story lives on The Promise. The short version: I’m rebuilding it the way it should have been built the first time. In public, with the community at the center, and to the same standard I’d hold any vendor I’d ship into a regulated environment.

Outside of work I’m a husband and a father of four. Years on the board of youth sports leagues taught me more about delivery than any cert ever did — coaching kids, herding parents, balancing a budget, and shipping a season on time turns out to look an awful lot like running a software project.
