Summary
Steven Smith is a founder and technical CEO with 11 years of professional experience building software and digitalization solutions for manufacturing and non-profits from Rochester, NY. He co-founded Perdix Software to deliver the MOLI System™, combining software, integration services, and hands-on training to boost compliance, first-time quality, and workforce development on the factory floor. His background spans full-stack product engineering—from Django/Python web UIs and REST APIs at Juniper Networks to embedded assembly and bench testing in open-source neuroscience hardware—paired with early-career web and IT operations work that honed practical, cross-functional problem solving. Steven’s unusual blend of a BA in Music with technical writing chops and real-world consulting experience lets him translate complex technical needs into usable, human-centered tooling. He also founded PatronDB to help performing-arts nonprofits manage patrons and donations, showing a consistent drive to solve domain-specific problems with software. Outside work he pursues hands-on technology and mechanical interests—motorcycles, cars, and cooking—that mirror his preference for integrated, multi-disciplinary projects.
