Summary
Stephen Lafortune is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and scaling full-stack applications using AWS, Node.js, TypeScript, and React across both startups and large enterprises. He co-led the development of the HelloIgnite platform at UnitedHealth Group, spun it out as CTO, and then continued to drive product and infrastructure improvements through acquisition by Press Ganey Forsta, cutting support cases in half and materially increasing bookings. Comfortable navigating SOC 2 and other compliance requirements, he pairs hands-on engineering with security-conscious cloud operations and M365 environment management. Now at Natera, he brings pragmatic leadership, mentorship, and a track record of turning complex requirements into reliable, auditable systems—often taking on both strategic and implementation roles.
