Thank you for visiting my website!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m Johnny Bilotta, a Philadelphia-based technology leader and digital product designer and developer. For thirty years I have built software and worked on the teams developing it, across financial technology, clinical trial regulatory, logistics, and broadband telecom.
Today I am the Director of Digital Strategy at Cable One, a broadband cable and telecom provider serving markets in the South, Southwest, and Midwest.
My work sits where product strategy, design systems, and engineering meet, and it usually begins when those three have drifted apart. As a product transformation executive, I take on the organizational problems that stall software teams and replace them with results-driven processes and AI-integrated workflows that hold up across an entire digital ecosystem.
I am available for consulting engagements. Most of them start with one of two questions:
I still design and write code every day, so my recommendations are grounded in what is practical to build and maintain. If either question sounds familiar, the contact form below is the best place to start a conversation.
Personally, I am a technophile who follows the latest developments in desktop, mobile, and web technology, including AI, LLMs, and software and hardware automation. Away from the keyboard, I watch McLaren in Formula One, the Philadelphia Flyers, and Tottenham Hotspur, and work on our home in Philadelphia with my wife, Abby. We volunteer as beekeepers at a local inner-city farm, stay involved in the greater tech community, and enjoy life with our dog Drax and his cat siblings Aja and Dorian.
For more detail about my experience, read on. Either way, thank you for visiting. I hope you found something useful here.
Design is the process that is necessary to produce practical solutions to all problems large or small, digital or analog. The solution and process is never perfect, and can constantly be improved through further design iteration.
A hands on approach to digital product design and development.
My path to product leadership was forged through design, not boardrooms. As a product designer, I leverage proven methodologies like design studios and rapid conceptualization, to transform abstract ideas into tangible artifacts with remarkable speed. My technical fluency goes beyond typical designer’s toolkit. I navigate the latest design tools and software technologies with the same confidence I bring to creative direction, allowing me to seamlessly integrate with any team, at any stage, and deliver immediate, measurable impact. Where others might struggle to adapt, I thrive on jumping into the complexity; translating vision into value, whether a project is just a spark or already aflame.
Technical understanding that translates to more effctive design thinking
Design may be my primary playground, but I’m no stranger to pushing commits. I dive into code, daily. Not just as a hobby, but as a crucial counterpart to my design practice. This hands-on development experience has become my secret weapon, allowing me to bridge the gap between aesthetic vision and technical feasibility. By understanding what happens behind the scenes, I create designs that don’t just look beautiful, but actually work beautifully in production. My command of coding fundamentals transforms collaboration with developers from translation to true partnership.
