Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Eisner is a pragmatic, hands-on Principal Staff Engineer at Dropbox with a 35-year software career and 11 years in his current senior engineering trajectory. He blends deep architecture and product experience—from building early intent-driven IDEs at Microsoft Research to leading engineering and enterprise product efforts at AskMe and AskMe Corporation. As CTO of SeeYourImpact.org he designed a donor-facing fundraising platform and mobile field tooling that helped raise ~$2M and publish ~7,500 impact stories, then spun the technology into a commercial product. Comfortable across stacks (LAMP, Java, Node/Angular, C#, Android) he excels at translating complex domain requirements into reliable, auditable systems. Based in Seattle and grounded by an MIT EE/CS degree, he pairs long-term technical vision with continued hands-on coding and delivery. A less obvious strength is his track record of turning research ideas into practical developer tools and social-impact products that scale.
