About the Author

Stephen at Yosemite kneeling with thumbs-up next to his rock tower — Yep, that's me!

As a senior software engineer and San Diego State University alumni, I aspire to improve the way users, hardware, and software interact with each other. The internet of things and social media do not solve all of the problems with communication and social interaction at a distance. For that reason, I use my programming knowledge and soft skills to facilitate how people interact with computers and how programmers interact with business partners.

Outside of work, I code on my GNU/Linux servers and repair or repurpose old electronics. When I am avoiding screens, I spend my time doing Gregorian chant, hiking, playing tennis, reading, and playing table-top games with friends and family.
