Steve Hodgson is a seasoned software engineer and technical leader with over a decade of experience building high-performance systems and leading engineering teams across storage, finance, and AR/VR domains. He has held senior architecture and leadership roles at Pure Storage and WorldQuant, and currently builds software at Hex after recent engineering work at Everest Systems. Steve blends deep systems experience—Linux platform, drivers, storage replication—with spatial computing and mixed-reality contributions, including speech/dictation work in Microsoft’s MRTK for Unity. On GitHub he maintains and modernized an unofficial OpenAI .NET client, migrating it to .NET 5 and adding classification and completion features, showing practical full‑stack and release ownership. A Cambridge-educated physicist, he pairs rigorous technical foundations with hands-on delivery and a knack for refactoring legacy code into production-ready services. Colleagues would note his pattern of moving between low-level performance engineering and emerging spatial/AI tooling, making him effective at bridging hardware-near systems and developer-facing platforms.
