Geoffrey
Software Engineer
from Belgium
Steve is an American living in Zagreb. He has experience as a CTO, senior programmer, project and product manager, and trainer.
He is a huge fan of double-diamond design pattern and applies it to startups and projects. Steve values personal responsibility, empowering remote workers, and distraction free workspaces. In his free time, he supports the Seattle Sounders, spends time with his golden retriever, plays and designs modern board games, and reads sci-fi.
Which is your favorite sport and why?
Soccer, football, nogomet, however you want to call it. For me, this is the best sport. I played for about 10 years and the pace of the game is unmatched. Go Sounders!
Which book should everyone read?
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a delightful read and arguably the first entry of modern science fiction. It's also a great example of how retellings have drifted from the original.
