Hi, I'm Stephen

Hey there!

I'm a Data Architect and Software Engineer with a journey spanning over 18 years.  My career has been all about creating cool data-driven apps, diving into cloud architecture, and designing things with the user in mind. I thrive in diverse environments, love Agile, and am always up for using the latest tech to solve problems. Leading teams and coming up with solutions that really make a difference? That's what keeps me going!

What I've Been Up To

Lateral Data Solutions (Since July 2013): 

Here, as a Principal Data Architect, I've been mixing it up, creating custom data solutions that aren't just about the numbers but also look great and make sense for businesses. Whether it's Automotive or Real Estate, I've been all about getting value out the door quickly and in style, thanks to Agile.

Modulim (July 2019 – April 2022): 

As Director of Software Engineering, I got to lead a fantastic team. We took an old-school medical system and turned it into something really cutting-edge. The best part? Our work helped doctors with preventive care, which is super rewarding.

Cribsee (March 2020 – November 2021): 

Co-founding Cribsee was a blast! We used AI to change how people see real estate listings. Building a system from the ground up that rethinks home values was both challenging and super fun.

Consultant (May 2011 – May 2015): 

As a Business Intelligence Consultant, I got to work with all sorts of clients. It was all about understanding what they needed and then building something that hit the mark.

Automotive Lease Guide, a TrueCar Co. (May 2010 – July 2013): 

Here, I was in the thick of developing data products that made a real difference in how people saw and used data.

Lockheed Martin (May 2005 – May 2010): 

Started my career here building enterprise apps. It was about taking manual processes and dragging them into the modern, digital world.

Tech Stuff I'm Good At

I'm all about cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.  Coding? Yep, I do that too - C#.NET, Blazor for desktop apps, Asp.NET Core for APIs, Flutter for mobile, and good ole TSQL for data.  There are more, but you get the idea.  From databases, to BI tools, to DevOps, to integrations, to medical imaging... I've got a pretty broad set of skills.

Schooling

Got my Bachelors of Technology in Software Application Development from the State University of New York at Morrisville, NY. Graduated in 2005 with a GPA of 3.72 - not too shabby!

A Bit About Me

I'm all about leading teams and tackling challenges head-on. I love figuring out how to make things better for users and get a real kick out of seeing my ideas come to life.
