About Steven Gonzalez

I'm a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 18 years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications. My expertise spans the entire technology stack, from database design and server-side architecture to modern frontend frameworks and user experience optimization.

Throughout my career, I've specialized in PHP and TypeScript/GraphQL, with deep expertise in modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, VueJS), Node.js backend development (Express.js), Python backend development (Flask, Django), and cloud technologies (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes). I've successfully delivered projects for enterprises, government agencies, fast-growing startups, e-commerce, and technology companies, consistently focusing on code quality, performance, and user experience.

As a technical leader, I've collaborated with cross-functional teams on challenging projects, contributed to technical architecture decisions, mentored junior developers, and helped establish best practices. I believe in building solutions that not only meet today's requirements but can evolve and scale with future needs.

My journey began in Boca Raton, Florida, where my passion for technology evolved into a professional career spanning over 18 years. Starting with small companies in South Florida, I quickly discovered that exceptional software isn't just about elegant code, it's about deeply understanding business challenges and crafting solutions that deliver measurable impact.

My career has taken me through fascinating industries: from maritime and precious metals at companies like Maritime Executive and Beyond79, to HVAC distribution at Gemaire (Watsco), government and enterprise solutions at LexisNexis Risk, and modern e-commerce platforms at Promenade Group. In 2016, I founded Sync Development, Inc., my consulting company, which has allowed me to work with banking institutions like NBKC and domain marketplace platforms while maintaining the flexibility to take on diverse challenges.

Each industry taught me something invaluable: maritime work showed me the importance of reliability under pressure, precious metals taught me about security and precision, HVAC distribution revealed the power of B2B automation, government work emphasized compliance and scalability, and e-commerce highlighted the need for seamless user experiences. What drives me most is architecting complex systems, leading technical initiatives, and mentoring developers. I always approach each challenge with curiosity and a commitment to continuous growth.
