Summary
Steven Tortora is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building resilient, user-focused web applications and APIs across startups and established cybersecurity teams. He has led small engineering teams to rapid delivery—shipping a TypeScript/Node/React e-commerce platform in under four months—and improved engineering velocity and quality through documented best practices, pre-commit automation, and comprehensive test coverage. His background spans full-stack work, cloud-native services on AWS, integrations with Stripe/Auth0/Shopify, and even Solidity smart contract development for blockchain-based real estate, showing a taste for both traditional and emerging tech. At Barracuda he drove test-first improvements that pushed integration coverage from 0% to over 90%, and at prior roles he halved incident rates through monitoring and incident-response processes. Comfortable bridging product and engineering, he combines hands-on coding with process leadership to make teams faster and systems more maintainable.
