About Jeff Bilbrey

Director of Technology | Systems Architect | Servant Leader

Hi, I'm Jeff!

I am a builder who leads. With 20 years of experience, I’ve moved from writing raw code to orchestrating intelligent systems. I believe technology should serve the team, removing friction so creativity can thrive.

My Professional Journey

As Director of Technology at Fletcher Media, I manage the architecture for millions of monthly readers. Previously at Amrock, I led cross-functional senior teams (Dev, SRE, QA) to modernize enterprise IT operations, tripling release frequency and cutting MTTR by 245%.

I leverage Vibe Coding and Agentic AI to prototype and deploy functionality in hours, not weeks. This allows me to remain a ‘Player-Coach’, someone who can design the strategy and then get into the trenches to build the solution.

In 2010 I founded Fan Driven Media and grew Detroit Sports Nation into a multi-million-reader network. Later I started Level 99 Design to deliver fast, SEO-friendly WordPress sites and automated workflows for clients.

What Drives Me

I’m fascinated by the intersection of infrastructure, code, and people. Whether I’m building CI/CD pipelines, migrating a legacy CMS, or designing a clean WordPress architecture, my focus is the same: make tech serve the team, not the other way around.

Strengths & Leadership

My StrengthsFinder results (Harmony • Consistency • Relator • Empathy • Adaptability) reflect how I work: I build teams, clear obstacles, and adapt to shifting needs. I lead with a servant-leadership mindset — create the environment, hand off the tools, and trust great teams to deliver.

Beyond Work

Beyond the keyboard I’m a husband, dad, and explorer. I dive into nature, game with my kids, and let my faith guide my approach to work and relationships. Simple truth: strong tech depends on strong character.
