I'm Steven, a software engineer with experience in fullstack development and a background in physics. I started coding in middle school, collecting computer viruses with a friend, infecting spare machines, and debugging the damage. Going into high school I started scripting with MATLAB and designed/visualized filters for electronics projects. That inspired me to study physics at university, but my favorite courses - electronics, computational and experimental physics - all had a strong focus in programming.
While I enjoyed working with MATLAB, C/C++, Fortran, and Python, I needed something more dynamic. Web development gave me the opportunity to work on the back-end to solve complex, technical challenges, but also the opportunity to switch to the frontend and stretch myself creatively with engaging visual elements and elegant UI.

My skills include JavaScript, Ruby, React, Redux, Ruby on Rails, SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Express, GraphQL, Apollo, HTML5, HTML Canvas, CSS3, SASS, Docker, Node.js, Heroku deployment, Git, and Python.

On top of those primary technologies, I have experience in a host of creative and engineering suites like MATLAB, AutoDesk, Blender, GIMP, LaTex, and familarity with many more.

Many of my personal projects and hobbies require that I take on new skills, which has taught me to adapt quickly to new technologies and ideas as well as to embrace the learning process itself. Whether I'm 3D modeling, designing electronics, playing music, cycling, or above all just writing solid code, everything has a process to master and is an exciting opportunity to better myself and produce something wonderful.
