Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Billings is a seasoned software engineer and architect with over a decade of experience building robust web and enterprise systems, now focused on integrating generative and agentic AI into production web applications. He has led full-stack development and architecture work—from Typescript/React frontends to Python/Django backends and PostgreSQL—while applying advanced patterns like Hexagonal Architecture and Repository/Unit-of-Work to keep business logic framework-agnostic. As a founding engineer he designed Haystack Ag’s customer portal and soil data platform with automated, containerized AWS deployments and pub-sub workflows, and he built an MCP-based agent server and frontend assistant that safely exposes backend capabilities to LLMs. Earlier roles include hands-on leadership at Black Duck designing language- and package-manager-aware scanners and CI/containerized scanning services, and long experience in internationalization, real-time systems, and developer-facing integrations. Based in Acton, MA, he pairs deep systems-level experience with practical DevOps and automation skills and a pragmatic enthusiasm for developer-assist AI tools. A detail that stands out: he evaluated multiple coding agents and operationalized Claude Code to materially accelerate development and code quality.
