Jeremy Adams is a Senior Software Engineer at Object Computing, Inc (OCI) in St. Louis, Missouri. For the last 18 years of his career, Jeremy has been writing embedded, realtime, and other software for robotics and simulation. He had worked on several custom frameworks until he discovered ROS1 and ROS2 in 2015. While starting to work with ROS1, he spent quite a bit of time looking into the alpha releases of ROS2 and even constructing systems combining a custom framework with ROS1 and ROS2. Hooked on ROS2 from this early alpha stage, he saw a huge benefit of DDS in ROS2 for complex networking issues. In November of 2019 Jeremy joined OCI. OCI is the home of OpenDDS which is one of the longest, continuously open-sourced DDS implementations available. There he supports integration of OCI's DDS, AI/ML, Cloud, and other expertise into robotic applications.
