Stefan Retief is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building reliable systems, currently advancing platform work at Microsoft after rising from SDE II. Grounded in a Computer Science degree from Cal State San Marcos and a childhood spent running game servers, he brings a practical, hands-on approach to networking, algorithms, and systems engineering. His career progression from intern to senior engineer at Bentley Systems and Microsoft reflects a consistent record of shipping production software and learning on the job. Based in Oceanside, California, Stefan pairs curiosity-driven problem solving with a knack for operational thinking—an echo of his early tinkering running Minecraft and Garry’s Mod servers.
