Steven Tran is a multidisciplinary technologist and entrepreneur who blends 11 years of software engineering and digital marketing experience with active real estate investing and brokerage across Oregon and Washington. As a former Senior Software Engineer and Co-Founder/CTO, he ships full-stack React/TypeScript and Ruby on Rails products and built hiring-oriented platform even to improve employer brand and applicant experience. He cohosts the REalized Gains Podcast and runs a property management firm managing multi-family and short-term rentals, giving him a rare operator’s perspective across product, growth, and asset management. A recognized leader in his community—2022 PMAR YPN Rising Star and incoming 2025 Portland AREAA president—he navigates both startup and regulated markets with equal fluency. Based in San Francisco with roots serving the Portland metro, he pairs technical craft with hands-on deal-making and marketing instincts. An uncommon detail: he leverages paid-search and branding expertise from his early career to optimize both software acquisition funnels and real-estate tenant sourcing.
