Summary
Steve Lathrop is a seasoned senior software engineer and lead strategist with over 10 years of experience building user-focused web and mobile systems and guiding teams toward scalable, multi-tenant SaaS architectures. As founder of Syntax Seven and former lead at organizations like Dataprise and FINRA, he blends hands-on full‑stack development (JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, Vue/React, C#, SQL Server/MongoDB) with pragmatic UX, DevOps, and productization strategies that reduce time-to-market. He’s delivered CMS/DCS, CRM, and regulated clinical data systems—including pharmacovigilance workflows—and helped clients adopt meta-programming, scaffolding, theming, and feature-toggling to manage many branded instances from a single codebase. Comfortable shifting between consultancy and embedded leadership, he has also cut operating costs to zero for nonprofits via serverless and SPA rewrites, and experimented with ML for data quality tasks. Based in Rockville, MD, he pairs mathematical training with a-builder mindset, favoring practical automation and small focused teams to scale complex software reliably.
