Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Stephens is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience building and scaling reliable production systems, currently based in Phoenix, Arizona. He has led end-to-end SaaS delivery—rebuilding React/Node/Postgres platforms, instituting CI/CD with versioned artifacts and rollbacks, and adding observability to shrink incident resolution times. His background spans large-scale ops (petabyte Elasticsearch clusters, Kubernetes on-prem) and hands-on systems automation (iPXE/Kickstart, Salt), enabling elastic scaling while minimizing cost and single points of failure. As a former principal engineer and founder, he blends product-minded engineering with mentoring and CTO-level strategic guidance for startups. He’s pragmatic and curious—someone who still ships features while quietly optimizing infrastructure and operational resilience.
