Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Hancock is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems, game engines, and tooling, currently driving engineering work at Solventum after roles at 3M and Metrc. He combines a practical focus on performance and maintainability—evident from his pathfinding optimization for a MoonRift game and contributions to projects like the Ruby editor Redcar and the Diaspora social network—with strong front-end and asset-pipeline skills. A summa cum laude computer science graduate from Florida Southern College, he pairs deep curiosity with a habit of exploring multiple solution approaches simultaneously. Colleagues describe him as fast-paced, creative, and mentor-ready; he actively seeks teams that value learning and refinement as much as shipping. Notably, his open-source work includes shipping a "strip trailing spaces" before-save hook and CDN/asset pipeline improvements that reduced runtime errors in production web apps.
