Hey, I'm Steve.
I’m a Senior Front End Developer at Qantas and I'm building The Finances App in my spare time. I focus on building performant, accessible, and secure websites that deliver high business value and great user experiences. I've worked for a variety of Australian companies, spoken at meetups/conferences in Sydney, contributed to open source projects including Preact, and answered questions on StackOverflow since 2008.
