Background

About Steven Mentzer

I am a full-stack software engineer with a passion for art and technology. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Oberlin College and a certificate in Computer Software Engineering from Flatiron School, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical skills. With over hours of experience in JavaScript, Python, HTML/CSS, and various frameworks, I specialize in building and deploying web applications that balance functionality with aesthetic precision. My background as an artist, frame designer, and art handler—handling thousands of valuable artworks at Bark Frameworks and working at the Brooklyn Museum—has sharpened my attention to detail, design sensibility, and problem-solving abilities. I apply this to my work in front-end development, drawing on graphic design principles, grid layouts, and color theory. I thrive in collaborative Agile environments and have a strong foundation in OOP, data structures, and efficient coding practices. I'm constantly expanding my skills and currently learning Swift, with plans to pursue a Master’s in Computer Science. I’m actively seeking opportunities in the arts or tech industries—whether through Full Stack Developer roles or freelance work. Let's connect if you'd like to collaborate!
