his

mission (

chose to accept it):

Get dirty with "impossible" problems to help teams excel

Noteworthy Achievements:

Establish incident response practices for orgs moving from dozens of engineers to hundreds
Built a data pipeline under an agressive deadline, primarily using Go lambdas and DynamoDB, that makes 12.6M api requests all day, every day
Large zero-downtime rails upgrade efforts (3.2 => 5.1) and (4.2 => 6.0) for large monoliths during heavy active development
Improved build time and stability for monorepo with 200 active engineers (25mins => 7mins)"
Mentoring and pairing with hundreds of developers across dozens of industries

Dossier Quotes:

Steve continues to see around corners — identifying gaps in our architecture, proposing and implementing new approaches. I couldn’t imagine this project succeeding without his technical leadership.
