About
Scott Bolinger
As a senior software engineer at GoDaddy, I lead the architecture and implementation of agentic AI systems that have millions of interactions. My focus is on using conversational AI to help customers with their jobs to be done, increasing engagement and revenue. This includes multi-agent systems used by 20+ teams across the company, and voice-based AI that qualifies customers and helps them onboard and activate both software and hardware products in the Commerce department.
The work I’ve led has been demoed on stage at company investor days and mentioned by the CEO in an earnings call. I’ve won multiple internal awards and have been recognized for my ability to combine product and engineering insight to ship better products faster.
Before GoDaddy, I co-founded AppPresser in 2013, a bootstrapped mobile app builder that did 7 figures in revenue and supported a small team for nearly a decade. Running my own business made me hyper-focused on business outcomes and customer success, rather than getting lost in the insignificant details. AppPresser taught me how to build something from scratch, find customers, grow a business, and manage a small team, giving me a perspective that goes well beyond code.
My main technologies include Typescript, React, GraphQL, Node, AWS, LLMs, and agentic AI.
I post about AI and software engineering at scottbolinger.com and youtube.com/@scottbolinger.
If you’re doing something interesting with software, I’m open for a conversation.
