Stefan Gorski (or "Steve")

I am a software engineer with an entrepreneurial spirit. For the last 12 years, I have been writing code to build products - some of which became real businesses.

Outside of coding, I love to surf, eat pizza/sushi, and travel.

Showdown Esports

Built a service that would let video game players compete against each other for in-game items.

  • For a real life example, imagine challenging your friend to a 1v1 game of basketball for $20. Instead of basketball, it was a video game, and instead of cash, it was credits that could be redeemed for virtual items.
  • The platform handled all of the transactions, matchmaking, and dynamic server creation for the video game matches.

Tech Used: Python, Flask, Postgres, Heroku, SourcePawn, etc.
