Demis Bellot is a seasoned software leader and CEO with 17+ years building high-performance, scalable .NET services and developer tools from architecture through deployment. As the driving force behind ServiceStack, he blends hands-on systems engineering—deep expertise in Redis, ORMs, serialization and messaging—with product leadership shipping cross-platform libraries for .NET, mobile and web clients. His open-source contributions to widely used projects like ServiceStack.Text and ServiceStack.Redis show a focus on performance, protocol-level robustness and pragmatic API design. Comfortable across the full stack and DevOps, he has repeatedly delivered low-cost, horizontally scalable architectures for high-throughput systems. Based in New York, he pairs a rare mix of implementation depth (including native Redis client work and Windows/DevOps packaging) with the strategic vision to turn developer productivity into commercial software.
