Stephen Parker is a results-driven software engineering leader with 11 years of experience delivering complex hardware-software systems and scalable web platforms, currently serving as Senior Director of Data Technology at Octus. He has a proven track record of driving multimillion-dollar savings—averaging $1.42M per year for past employers—and shipped $20M+ systems for clients ranging from Fortune 500 firms and financial services to military and nuclear training customers. Hands-on across the stack, he has led major cloud migrations to serverless AWS architectures, designed real-time simulation and embedded systems, and built automated fraud-detection and IAM platforms that prevented multi-million dollar losses. Stephen combines engineering depth (B.S. in Mechanical Engineering) with strong consulting and sales acumen from his independent contracting and startup work, routinely closing deals and integrating diverse APIs and devices. Not obvious from titles alone: he’s doubled down on developer enablement—creating tooling and dev environments that slashed onboarding times and dramatically reduced tech debt and operating costs. Based in Jacksonville, FL, he balances strategic leadership with continued hands-on engineering and operational delivery.
