// About
Background
Hi, I'm Stephen. I am a Kansas City resident and developer. I enjoy creativity and the process that it takes to realize the creative potential that exists everywhere. I have been developing websites for over 20 years starting with HTML4 and Netscape 3.
Development Style
I organize disorder. I find similarities and patterns inside of chaos. I give information a voice. I am serious about building lasting projects that can scale.
I am full-stack aware with a passion for front-end development. Everything I make has UX factored in.
Technologies
I have a wide-ranging skill set because I have worked as a graphic designer, web designer, web developer, musician, and bartender. My skillset includes but is not limited to:
Languages
- HTML5
- JavaScript
- CSS / Sass
- PHP
- SQL
Frameworks / Platforms
- Svelte / Svelte Kit
- WordPress / jQuery
- Vue
- CloudFlare
- Git / Netlify
Creative
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
- After Effects
- Premiere
- OBS / Live Streaming
- Misc Audio Recording
Preferred Stack
My current go-to stack is Svelte Kit on the front-end and Directus.io on the back-end. It's decoupled, cloud ready, built to scale, and blazingly fast.
The nature of a decoupled stack allows me to mix-and-match. I can apply a Svelte Kit front-end to any back-end. Converting a traditional WordPress to headless would be a good example.
