I feel that I can rely on you to not skip steps during the engineering process. You have been a flag bearer for testing, you really run your code on all the devices its meant to run on. You're thorough and it creates trust.

You're super solution oriented. Truly embrace turning challenges into opportunities and I always trust that when something is going in your direction, you will focus on the pure facts/opportunity of the situation and not get lost in ego/defensiveness/etc that I have experienced in many other engineering teams.

Overall I feel very lucky to have Steven as a manager because he is quite open to discussion on things and is very available and eager to help when I face issues while working on tickets. I never feel intimidated or unwelcome to ask for help or offer advice.

You're incredible at leading by example with refactoring, clear and transparent communication, and you're the biggest advocate of #dev-chat I know. You always inspire me to be better at this.

You have been great at scoping out work and detailing how to build it. It has resulted in the most rapid timing and refining sessions we have ever done. Really happy with that.

Steven (as well as the rest of the team) is very good at explaining new coding concepts or tech stack related things to me without being at all patronising or intimidating.
