About
I'm Steven, a technical leader with 10 years of experience defining, implementing, and leading the delivery of world-class technology solutions. Software teams I've been a part of, or led have achieved many of the following to add value to a customer: reliability serving billions of requests a month, deploying value adding changes thousands of times in a year, launching a new product to market, or digitally transforming a physical experience to be a digital one. I'm currently focusing my passion towards defining processes required to form collaborative, self-driven teams packed with passionate individuals having technical and communication skills required to drive business impact for your customers. Most recently, I was the first backend engineer to join Dovetail Studios' 2nd largest client. The client loved the quality I added to their team and has continually wanted to expand the team. I formalized the interview process, and onboarded 8 more engineers; which is the team I'm now managing. I also coach 6 aspiring engineers who are honing their software engineering and leadership skills to accelerate their careers. I previously ran meetups with 20+ attendees and over 20 events in AWS architecture, as a co-organizer of CodersUK. Reach out to me if you're looking for help: - Stengthening your software engineering leadership to launch your company into its next phase. - Refining your hiring and engineering management to scale your team, while raising your software's quality bar. - Defining goals, and being coached towards them to accelerate your career.
