Head Of Software And Data
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Bird is a Head of Software and Data based in Seattle with 12 years of experience building web and mobile products and leading engineering teams. He has steered software and data efforts at Deako since 2016 after hands-on roles at Cyanogen and earlier web development work, bringing a mix of product-focused leadership and low-level Android/Linux familiarity. His background spans website building, PHP forum customization from his RootzWiki co-founder days, Android engineering, and Linux systems — a blend that helps him bridge embedded, backend, and frontend concerns. Known for shipping practical solutions rather than academic proofs, he focuses on tying data insights to product outcomes. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic technologist who still gets into the weeds when infrastructure or OS-level debugging matters. He holds coursework from Western Carolina University and leverages entrepreneurial experience to drive cross-functional execution.
