By day, Steve is a Staff Software Engineer at Mailchimp, building out the tools to make everyone’s favorite marketing platform even better.

PHP is his bread and butter, and he loves building out SaaS and other products using Laravel. He is also a WordPress plugin author and core contributor, but his real passion is building code-quality tools. He has spent a lot of time working with CI/CD pipelines and all of the tooling that gets run as part of them.

He is also a regular conference speaker (or at least was, pre-pandemic), so you may have met him at any number of PHP, WordPress, or other software-related events.

When he’s not working, you can typically find him out on ridiculously-long walks, hanging out with family, or in the basement making music and/or guitar pedals.
