ABOUT ME

My name is Steven Fountain and I am a Software Engineer at Rover.com. In December 2022, I earned a Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University's ALIGN program in Seattle, WA.

I started my professional career in the User Experience industry managing playtest labs at Microsoft and Facebook. I worked closely with Researchers and Engineers to ensure UX studies were conducted successfully and accurately, empowering Researchers to deliver actionable findings to stakeholders.

This background helps me approach solving technical problems from a unique perspective, enabling me to work closely with others to build impactful, user-centered solutions.
