Summary
Steven Mcwhorter is a seasoned software engineering manager with over a decade of experience building global teams and platform products that power large-scale ecommerce. He leads distributed engineering across North America, India, and Mexico at Kroger Technology, focusing on self-service developer tooling and dynamic data platforms that reduce boilerplate and accelerate delivery for web and native apps. A former mobile lead with deep Android and iOS experience, he pairs hands-on platform expertise—custom Android views, Cocoa/Cocoa Touch, Objective-C, and Java—with strong Microsoft-stack and BI credentials (C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, SSIS/SSRS). Steven excels at translating complex requirements into pragmatic architectures, having shipped n-tier web services, Windows services, and SharePoint integrations across retail, banking, healthcare, and telecom. He’s equally comfortable in customer-facing roles and technical design, leveraging UML/use cases and clear communication to align stakeholders. An engineer-turned-manager, he still brings code-aware leadership that helps teams ship reliable, high-availability systems.
