Steven Ortiz
Senior Software Developer
I'm a senior software developer with experience in full stack web and mobile development. I enjoy taking on new challenges and keeping up with the latest trends and developments in the industry. I'm currently employed as a mobile developer and working on a few personal projects. My areas of interest include web technologies and cloud computing. In 2016, I graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with High Honors, earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. In 2017, a publication based on my work in large-scale data management was accepted into the IEEE International Conference on Big Data.
A few of my hobbies include biking, playing the guitar, fiction writing, designing album artwork, experimenting with synthesizers and other instruments, and keeping organized. I also find pleasure in building desktop computers and the challenge of cable management when such opportunities present themselves. I can even be found playing the piano or engaging in light carpentry work on rare occasions. I'm a meticulous being by nature, so I often invest a significant amount of time in almost all of my pursuits. The process can be exhausting but the result is always worth it!
When I'm not busy with anything else, I can usually be found with my cat Coqui (a type of frog in Puerto Rico) while watching a movie or playing a video game - two of my greatest and oldest passions in life. Some of my favorites include No Country for Old Men, The Last of Us, Blade Runner, and Mass Effect. I've also been known to watch the occasional television series such as The Boys and You. I'm open to just about any genre of entertainment, but I tend to seek out the most thrilling experiences available.
