Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSeth Holladay is a seasoned software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building web and B2B products, from music tech to 3D modeling platforms. He blends design sensibility with pragmatic engineering—treating music like software at Replay Avenue and pioneering Git-based versioning for recordings—while scaling teams and processes as Senior Director of Engineering at PocketBuildings. A pragmatic full-stack developer, Seth has shipped isomorphic modules, complex multi-party payments on Stripe, and contributed to notable open-source projects like the ky HTTP client and hapi’s bell plugin. He’s equally at home improving developer workflows, automated testing, and continuous deployment as he is inventing new user-facing products, and he often cross-pollinates ideas across domains (music, web, and distributed systems). Based in Boston, he enjoys hacking on open-source tooling and quirky projects—everything from better printers to ambitious DIY voice interfaces inspired by Star Trek.
