Howdy! I'm Stefan.

A front-end engineer with a passion for clean and engaging UI.

Stefan Ott

I build web apps from the database to the last pixel.

For 19 years I've owned features end to end: designing schemas, wiring up APIs, and crafting the interfaces people actually touch. I'm as comfortable in C#/.NET and PHP as I am in Angular and TypeScript, and lately I've been folding AI-assisted tools like Claude Code into my everyday workflow. The work I'm proudest of is the kind people rely on daily, like the WYSIWYG email editor I built from scratch that tens of thousands of users worked in every day.

  1. Wellesley Information Services

    2024 - 2026
    Senior Software Engineer

    I built full-stack features for the SAPinsider and ERP Today news platforms across PHP/WordPress and JavaScript, created a live events platform that unified CRM, CMS, and web publishing for the Events team, and automated data syncs with third-party services.

  2. Market Leader

    2021 - 2023
    Senior Software Engineer

    I designed and built features for the Market Leader CRM and the real estate marketing sites agents use nationwide, and helped migrate the CRM from PHP to Angular and .NET services for better maintainability and performance.

  3. E2Open

    2019 - 2021
    Senior Software Engineer

    I led the team integrating the E2Open Harmony front-end framework, owned all new client-facing features for the Averetek QuickStart ASP.NET app, and built the REST APIs behind its email template manager and mass-email integrations.

  4. Care4 Software

    2019 - 2020
    Senior Software Engineer

    On a small team building a case management platform, I designed a custom localization system that let client admins change app text without engineering help, integrating Westwind Globalization and ANTLR to localize templated content.

  5. Averetek

    2012 - 2019
    Senior Software Engineer

    I built the Real Time Editor from scratch, a WYSIWYG email template editor used daily by tens of thousands of people, designed hundreds of email and landing page templates, and served as the team's front-end authority setting standards across projects.

  6. Seattle Retro Gaming Expo

    2011 - 2018
    Software Engineer | Event Coordinator

    As a volunteer, I built and maintained SeattleRetro.org with ASP.NET and MSSQL, and helped the coordination team plan and run the annual expo.

  7. International Academy of Design and Technology

    2011 - 2012
    Adjunct Instructor

    I directed a team of game design students building a game in Unreal Engine 3, teaching Scrum fundamentals and leading the project's design and management.

  8. Retail Lockbox Inc.

    2007 - 2012
    Software Engineer

    I developed payment-processing websites on the .NET platform with C#, MSSQL, and JavaScript, managed our internal server infrastructure, and built automation tools for document scanning and imaging.
