Summary
Steve Judkins is a founder and seasoned technology leader with over 30 years of experience architecting and operating mission-critical, internet-scale SaaS platforms for media, commerce, and enterprise customers. Based in Seattle, he has built startups and led distributed, remote-first engineering cultures that emphasize agile practices, cloud-native infrastructure, and open-source collaboration. His career spans product and program leadership roles at Twitch, Upbound, Comcast Technology Solutions, Amazon, Microsoft and early AI/semantic search startups, giving him deep expertise in streaming, transcoding, identity/DRM, cloud orchestration, and machine-learning-driven search. Steve combines hands-on systems design with strategic program management—delivering multi-year cross-team initiatives in security, reliability and infrastructure at scale. He now channels that experience into Infinite Spaces, an AI-amplified collaboration platform for creators and production teams, reflecting a consistent through-line of building tools that enable interactive media and entertainment. A less obvious strength is his track record of translating research-grade ML and knowledge-graph ideas into production-grade services and business value.
