Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenneth Steward is a Principal Software Engineer and internal technical evangelist with 11+ years building full-stack web applications and shaping developer practices at FINRA. He blends deep front-end expertise—Angular/TypeScript, raw JS/CSS, and UI frameworks—with back-end experience in C#/ASP.NET, Java/Spring, and Node.js, plus ORM work against Oracle and SQL Server. At FINRA he architects shared libraries and tools (including a JSON-Schema-driven forms framework and HERD UI) that standardize session, configuration, and form generation across teams, and he mentors engineers to raise UI quality and performance. An active open-source contributor and founding member of the OpenAPI Generator JavaScript effort, he’s improved TypeScript/Angular code generation for a widely used swagger/codegen ecosystem. Comfortable across Azure, AWS and Firebase, he prefers TypeScript for expressing complex concepts clearly to peers and has a knack for turning messy UI requirements into maintainable, productized solutions.
