Top SchoolSpencer Steers is a principal full-stack software developer based in Denver with 12 years of experience building web products and leading engineering teams. He has repeatedly moved from sole-engineer roles to technical leadership, owning architecture, deployment, and product work across startups and growth-stage companies. Spencer excels at turning product vision into polished marketplaces and media-rich web apps using modern stacks (React, Kotlin, AWS) and has led teams through major refactors and new platform launches. He’s comfortable both shipping code and mentoring teams—having grown engineering orgs, managed offshore developers, and assumed product responsibilities when needed.
