Steven Dao is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems in Python, Redis, and distributed architectures. After building anti-abuse and large-scale data quality pipelines at LinkedIn and core trading APIs at JPMorgan, he now leads Hysteres, exploring unconventional approaches to market problems. He favors server-side rendering and pragmatic tooling (sqlite, Redis) while openly eschewing JavaScript-heavy full-stack trends and fashionable buzzwords like web3. An active open-source contributor, he has implemented user-focused front-end features such as international telephone input formatting and validation for a Vue library, reflecting attention to UX as well as back-end robustness. Based in Houston, he pairs contrarian viewpoints with hands-on engineering and a penchant for concise, opinionated tradeoffs that prioritize reliability over hype.
