Summary
Steve Klebanoff is a seasoned software engineer and tech lead with 14 years of experience building web and crypto-native systems, now at Stripe after his startup PartyDAO was acquired in 2026. He has led engineering teams at startups and established companies—driving product and architecture work at 0x, AppFolio, and earlier roles—while also co-founding Next Epoch Ventures to pursue projects with his wife. Comfortable across full-stack development and technical leadership, he combines hands-on implementation with startup-minded product focus. Based in San Diego, he pairs a Computer Science and Cognitive Psychology background with a playful creative side—aptly summarized on GitHub as “turtle playing a banjo”—that signals a blend of curiosity and levity in his approach to engineering.
