Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Touba is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with six years of professional experience building full‑stack web applications using React, Redux, Ruby on Rails, Node/Express and WebSockets. After a substantive career as a formulations and process development chemist at Gilead, he pivoted into software and brings laboratory-grade rigor to product development and systems reliability. At Bloomberg he contributes to large-scale engineering while also shipping personal projects—a Rails/Postgres Slack clone with Action Cable and a MERN virtual tabletop that uses socket.io—demonstrating a strong grasp of realtime systems. He pairs practical backend expertise with frontend UX sensitivity and a habit of exploring diverse technical approaches, from Canvas-based game engines to production-grade services. Outside of code he maintains a wide-ranging curiosity, dabbling in cooking and traditional hand-tool woodworking, which informs his methodical yet creative problem solving.
