Ventilations from an engineer — Stephen Crosby is an Internet engineer and explorer of the worldwide series of tubes
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Stephen Crosby and I build web applications.
Today, I am at Dropbox, building beautiful products for a wide variety of customers who are putting their documents to work.
In 2021, I left SecureDocs to join Google in Mountain View, where I worked on internal developer tooling for Google Assistant. It was an incredible opportunity to get an inside look at how such a legendary company works, but I decided pretty quickly that this was not the place for me.
Prior to Google, I was working on a new generation of document storage and contract management solutions at SecureDocs in Goleta, CA. We had a very small engineering team, but I was continually impressed by the quality of the software we produced.
At RightScale, now Flexera, I built and maintained both frontend and backend systems for our customers who trusted us with their cloud infrastructure. RightScale provided me with an incredible environment to learn and build while writing software that scales.
In 2014, I co-founded Branded Crate, a small application development and marketing company here in Santa Barbara.
I am a huge fan of free software. I’ve created or contributed to many open source software projects. Check out my github page to see what I’m up to: https://github.com/stevecrozz
