Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSteve Lorello is a Principal Field Engineer with 7 years of professional software experience, currently helping customers adopt and scale Redis technologies from his base in Oakland, New Jersey. He blends hands-on backend engineering—demonstrated by significant contributions to the widely used StackExchange.Redis client, adding features like ZRangeStore, LPOS, HRANDFIELD and NRediSearch schema enhancements—with a developer-advocacy background that spans .NET-focused roles. His career progressed rapidly at Redis from developer advocate into senior field engineering and now principal-level customer-facing technical leadership. Steve pairs a Master's in Computer Science from Georgia Tech with practical systems experience gained earlier as a software engineer at Harris and an operations supervisor at UPS, giving him both deep technical chops and an operational mindset. He’s comfortable moving between shipping code, enabling developer success, and solving real-world production problems for large customers.
