Top SchoolMike Steele is a Senior Web Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-impact, performant front-end systems for companies like Spotify and Drizly, and architecting design systems used by 1,000+ engineers at athenahealth. He specializes in React, TypeScript, Next.js, GraphQL and accessibility (WCAG AA), and pairs this with backend experience in Java, gRPC, Rails and Node to deliver end-to-end features that boost conversion, retention, and SEO. At Drizly he shipped major features that scaled through 1,600% user growth, and at Spotify he works on software that powers royalty payments for artists. He’s pragmatic about performance and testing—his design system work emphasized bundle size, graphical performance, and >90% Jest coverage—and communicates effectively with stakeholders across product and design. Outside of work he built "dual-captions," a React extension used by over 10,000 people and adopted in classrooms worldwide to teach English, reflecting a practical focus on accessibility and real user impact.
