I build web apps and make angry robot music.

“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!”

“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 🙂”

Anthony Cobranchi
Senior Software Engineer

“Every day, Steve defies my expectations and he shows what it's like to work at Mile Two. He does this through accountability, cross-team collaboration, and the ability to give and receive feedback.” · Source

“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.”
