Bio
Jon Hegranes
Steve possesses key skills, not only for mobile dev, but for startups. He always stepped up to understand customer needs, required timelines, and even new code bases when asked. I also appreciated how he brought interest and insights into the industry we served and related new features and products that we could ship. Whether it’s in the startup realm, or a key mobile role, Steve’s the guy!

I had the opportunity to work alongside Steve at Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk) for almost 3 years, and in that time he made invaluable contributions to all products that Aloft released on the Android platform. Steve went above and beyond to make sure a deadline was hit by our team and incorporated many new ideas that have helped clients gather intelligent flight data quickly and efficiently using the Aloft platform. In his role as Senior Android Engineer, Steve executed many features quickly in Kotlin/Java and made sure the client was pleased with the product on every release. He has always made sure he could deliver on anything that was expected of him, displaying a powerful work ethic that is hard to come by. In our mobile team meetings, Steve always spoke up and made sure every aspect of a feature was thought out before any code hit the IDE. Steve is a sharp and talented Software Engineer and capable team player that will elevate the performance of any team.
