“Steve has consistently delivered high quality work throughout his time at Mile Two and has been referred to as "M2's #1 Example for Humble Expertise". This quarter we are recognizing him for the tremendous growth he has shown in new areas on the team. Steve stepped up in big ways as the team added new members and he thoughtfully transitioned from doing a lot of work to leading and guiding the broader effort on the new application. Great job and thank you Steve!”
Quarterly Employee Recognition
“Steve has an impressive track record. He has grown tremendously in his time at M2 and is an incredibly thoughtful lead contributor to the team. He strives to always do his best and is not content with waiting on the sidelines. Building out rapid prototypes, being willing to make frequent adjustments under uncertainty, questioning assumptions, and driving best practices are only some of his great qualities. I am grateful to his work on this project, in particular, but he is a powerhouse across multiple efforts.”

“It is so hard to find one or two things to mention about Steve because he is just amazing at everything he does. I always enjoy working with him and no matter what we are doing he is always teaching me something. Thank you Steve for being such a great mentor, coworker, and friend 🙂”
“Always impressive to see you, not only, masterfully execute the work, but provide fantastic customer service! Well done.”
“Steve is a class act. The man is humble and always willing to share his knowledge. As an intern and now, he is one of a select few people I rely on if I need assistance. I remember him teaching me what props are (using bacon, I've never forgotten). He is my safe space. It would be silly to not aspire to be like Steve... both as a developer and a person. The world would be better off with more Steve Grays. If I were drafting a team of people to work with, Steve would be a first rounder. He is that good. Steve cares deeply about code and makes me want to be a better developer. I would be lucky to one day possess what Steve Gray does. If Steve needed anything, I'd drop whatever to help him. Steve is a true friend.”

“I miss that Steve-code. So clean. I'm sorry I ever took it for granted. Handsome Steve is my other favorite mentor (and friend) who has taught me all I know about developing. He's raised me from a youngling intern to the engineer I am today 👶 He's an all-star and we can't help but love him.”
“You're absolutely crushing, man. Thank you thank you thank you! Steve is a teammate, a superhero when you need him to be, and just plain brilliant.

“Steve's humble expertise, willingness to always be a lifelong learner, and ability to connect & communicate with people shines brightly on any team he's placed on. 🙂”
“I worked closely with Steve in another project and he is a really good and knowledgeable person. Good listener, dynamic thinker and problem solver. He always tried to understand and respect other people's thoughts and provide a solution for that issue.”
