Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Cothren is a Director of Software Engineering with 11 years of hands-on experience building scalable data and identity-resolution systems and a longer track record of shipping production software. He blends low-level language expertise (C, C++, Perl) with modern cloud-native practices—designing AWS architectures, automating deployments with Terraform/CloudFormation, Docker, and Kubernetes—and has led teams through GitOps-driven production rollouts. Steven has built high-volume data warehouses and real-time orchestration platforms, and as an independent consultant he translated scientific research into C++ implementations and Django-based data platforms for molecular ML. Comfortable both as a technical lead and Scrum Master, he teaches and mentors engineers on AWS, containers, and entity resolution, and repeatedly steps into high-visibility projects that require pragmatic architecture and delivery. Based in Charleston, SC, he pairs deep systems-level coding skills with product-minded engineering leadership that prioritizes reliability, automation, and measurable user value.
