Top SchoolSteve Algernon is a seasoned architect with 10+ years of engineering experience and a long tenure at Apple driving core technologies and cross-platform work across macOS, Unix/Linux, and Windows.

Known as a “jack of all trades,” he excels at untangling scalability and interoperability challenges and has contributed to foundational projects including windowing systems and Mac ports of early Java efforts. Based in Brookdale, CA, he pairs an electrical engineering background with a pragmatic focus on reliable, maintainable architectures and an unusual comfort moving between low-level code and product-facing systems.
