AREAS OF INTEREST
Playing music from a young age has thankfully exposed me to many different instruments. I currently enjoy playing guitar, bass, drums and sometimes experiment with keyboards to create ambient music.
Wildlife & landscapes are my favorite types of frames to capture. Experimenting with infrared photography and painting with light is also a thrill. Astrophotography has recently become another passion project of mine which has been great fun to explore.
Since my teen years I have enjoyed writing in its various forms. In high-school I was assigned to an advanced English composition course which gave me my first taste of the creative possibilities. SInce then I’ve pursued this outlet by writing short stories, poetry, technical documents and freelance articles.
My career in computers has summoned wearing many different hats over the years. Some of those hats include software development, platform orchestration, cloud engineering, systems administration, technical writing as well as candidate interviewer.
What colleagues have said:
“Steve and I worked together automating processes for some UNIX systems hosting apps for hundreds of users. Steve's efforts eased their loads as he found ways to shorten workflows, automate processes, and present a better user experience for people who's days were spent doing repetitive numerical/statistical data manipulations. The tasks he helped people with were substantial time and labor savers.
His coding skills are sharp and his skillsets are focused on current tecnologies, with a genuine interest in how things work, how to improve things, and the thrill of improving lives thru technology.”

“Migrated HP-UX and SCO UNIX systems to Open Source Linux saving $60,000 USD/yr in support costs.”
— Jason Fink - Sr. Engineer HPC at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
“Steve has for years managed a variety of tools my departments’ uses, and has done so efficiently and professionally. While this means I've rarely needed to reach out to him for assistance, those times when business needs required me to do so, Steve always worked flexibly and diligently with me, whatever the project.”
— Daniel Black - Sr. Data Developer at Paycor
