Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Jackson is a founder and senior software engineer with 14 years of experience building high-performance systems, embedded prototypes, and cloud-native product pipelines for government and enterprise clients. He started in C for high-volume data ingestion and firmware-adjacent IoT work, later adding deep Drupal/PHP, Go, React, and AWS expertise to deliver decoupled/headless architectures and API integrations. As founder of Red Sky Development he architects cost-saving caching and automation solutions, writes backend Go tooling, and leads CI/CD and infra automation across Acquia and AWS. He specializes in performance-sensitive C/C++ systems and low-level engineering while retaining full-stack fluency for rapid product delivery. Comfortable operating at the intersection of systems thinking, cloud architecture, and real-world constrained devices, he’s equally adept at optimizing data paths and shaping clean interfaces around complex infrastructure. Located in Massachusetts, he pairs an MSCS with a hands-on habit of building prototypes that reveal practical trade-offs early in a project.
