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 User Research Labs at Microsoft and Facebook. I worked closely with Researchers and Engineers to ensure UX studies were conducted successfully, without technical issues.

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.
