Hi! I'm Stephen. I'm a freelance software developer, I work primarily for startups building web applications with ruby on rails. I love contributing to the community by building open source tools and sharing what I've learned with other developers through writing and speaking. I also love learning new things--lately I've been exploring elixir and phoenix. Here you can find blog posts, links to my online presence (on the left) and links to my projects and their source code.
