Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Willoughby is a senior software engineer based in Portland, Oregon with decades of hands-on experience building and administering Unix-centric systems and tooling across Linux, BSD, Solaris and AIX environments. Currently the lead programmer on New Relic’s Go Agent team, he combines low-level systems programming in C/C++ with modern development in Go and Python, and a strong focus on application and infrastructure security. His background at Intel spans systems programming, enterprise IT tooling, IoT and application security, and he has long championed Agile practices, TDD and developer mentoring. Steve’s work routinely blends systems administration, large-scale storage and networking knowledge with application development—he’s written multi-module management tools, ticketing systems and custom installers in production use. He holds a BS and MS in Computer Science and brings a practical curiosity (even into microcontroller circuits and typesetting) that helps him bridge hardware, software and operational concerns. Colleagues rely on him for steady, security-minded engineering that keeps critical systems reliable and maintainable.
