Building text tools thatrespect your privacy

A Toronto-based technologist and software developer with over two decades of experience building web applications, data systems, and digital tools.

His journey began in the early 2000s, teaching himself to code while building some of Canada's first political blogs and online communities. Since then, he's worked across the full technology stack—from database architecture and backend systems to frontend interfaces and user experience design.

Stephen has built everything from real-time data visualization platforms and geospatial mapping applications to content management systems and API integrations. His work consistently focuses on making complex technology accessible and useful for everyday users.

When not coding, he applies his technical expertise to data journalism and public policy analysis, using programming to uncover insights in complex datasets. He continues building and maintaining a suite of free online tools for developers, writers, and content creators.
