Hey there!

My name is Steve. These days, I'm a software engineer living in Ann Arbor, Michigan with my wonderful fiancée Alaina. I currently work at Microsoft AI, as an Infrastructure Engineer helping to maintain supercharged clusters for AI inference and model training. My focus is on cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes.

Before that, I worked at Color Health as the lead engineer on the ops team, managing Kubernetes clusters, AWS infrastructure, terraform workflows, and CI/CD (we did a bit of everything). I was also the first principal engineer at Rocket Mortgage, where I worked from 2012—2022. I worked on developer tooling and cloud infrastructure here as well, with a focus on deployment pipelines and building tools to safely and securely deploy all services within the company. I introduced terraform and designed the workflow, spreading it to more than a thousand projects!

Here are some of the stuff and thangs I've built:

Check out my silly little side projects, most of which can be found on my GitHub.

• Celery Man - Cinco Identity Generator Web app version of the Adult Swim Celery Man skit.
• Skill Survey Simple single page app for filling out surveys for evaluating skill levels for peers or self-evaluations. Rocket Mortgage used this to power their SDE career assessments.
• HTML Screensaver Clock Colorful HTML clock for use as a screensaver. Single-file html/js clock screensaver with no external dependencies to provide a prettier alternative to the built-in clock screensavers.
• Hal Deployment Platform A deployment portal for software services, Kubernetes, and cloud instructure. During my time at Rocket Mortgage, we used this to power several hundred thousand deployments a year. This is a forked version which is no longer maintained.
• Pinger Internet Connectivity Tester Simple pinger app for testing internet connectivity. By default, google.com is pinged every 5 seconds while the app is enabled.
