Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolScotty Bollinger is a multidisciplinary creative technologist who blends 11+ years of full‑stack software engineering with immersive visual production, designing holograms, projection‑mapped environments, and intelligent lighting for festivals, nightclubs, and large‑format installations. Formerly a Senior Front End Engineer at Elastic, he helped scale documentation and Enterprise Search UIs used by millions, bringing strong frontend architecture, TypeScript, and React expertise to complex systems. Now leading visual experiences at Word Creative and founding Lightclub, he builds end‑to‑end pipelines—hardware, software, content, sync, and on‑site execution—that treat shows as engineered performances. His work marries rigorous engineering (notably contributions to the high‑profile elastic/kibana project) with an artist’s sensibility for motion, music, and atmosphere. Based in Memphis, he’s equally comfortable refactoring enterprise UI components and iterating generative visuals in TouchDesigner and Resolume.
