Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Liles is a Lead Software Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building high-performance, full-stack systems and developer-facing tooling. Currently he is building a patent-pending, super-fast graph query engine (Cypher/GQL) at Data Graphs, bringing low-level performance focus to graph query execution. His background spans complex React and React Native applications, Node.js back-ends with ElasticSearch, and dynamic SVG/WebGL graphics—work that includes fixing platform-crashing bugs in the popular react-native-svg project. Comfortable leading teams and shipping end-to-end products, he has repeatedly taken greenfield ideas from prototype to production, including mobile apps approaching a million downloads. Based in the UK, he blends deep engineering discipline with an entrepreneurial streak, often diving into low-level problems like image processing, hardware controllers and concurrency. Colleagues know him as a curious “geek” who prefers to lead by example and keep coding every day.
