Steve Aquillano is a Senior Software Engineer at Ro at PRIA. He possess expertise in javascript, web development, html 5, css, interaction design and 14 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Steve is truly a front end engineer: his technical depth with Javascript, frameworks, and ability to bridge backed/frontend mean he has the ability to take a leadership and architectural position in today's marketplace of frontend heavy applications. Coupled with his technical aptitude is his UI/UX sensibilities and his customer focus, which means I know I can trust him to make the right decisions and recommendations whether it's leading a meeting with other engineers or helping shape product and UI/UX with the Product and Design teams. Steve was also a very forthright and loyal team member who truly wanted the best for the company and the team. I trust Steve to be a team member who can help build and shape application focused on getting the best performance and scalability by making smart decisions on front-end vs. backend implementations. Through his constant attention to the evolving technologies and his ability to judiciously decide where and when to use them based on project timelines and requirements, Steve showed he had the technical and business context for driving the vision and implementation for our UI tier. The best example of his ability to make well balanced implementation decisions during his tenure at Sole Society, was while attacking a rewrite of the checkout process, Steve had the foresight and understood the problem well enough to steer the implementation to use JSON API's with Handlebars client-side templating; he also took into account the broader contexts of performance vs. development workflow vs. time-to-market and make the decision to use the implementation that best balanced all the concerns, deferring possibilities that had large process changes. I would hire Steve again, and will use him as the standard to which I hold other front end engineers."
