👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Billingsley is a seasoned engineering leader with 11 years building and scaling real-time, cloud-hosted classroom management systems across Mac, Windows, Chromebook and iOS platforms. As VP of Engineering at DeveloperTown he combines hands-on experience with ASP.NET Web API, SignalR and durable SQL architectures with product leadership gained shipping frequent releases and maintaining multi-client availability. His background spans native iOS and macOS clients, Chrome extensions and Windows services, and he uniquely leveraged analytics at the API tier to capture cross-client usage without per-client instrumentation. A pragmatic manager who rose through engineering and front-end leadership roles, Alex emphasizes test-driven development—driving large unit test suites and high coverage—to reduce regression risk while enabling rapid iteration. Based in Indianapolis with a BA in Computer Science from DePauw, he’s as comfortable sketching distributed server architecture as he is shipping mobile UX details.
