👋 Hey, I'm Steve

Full-stack dev. Horse rider. Scout leader. Maker of things that beep, click, and occasionally catch fire (on purpose). I’ve been writing code for over 20 years – building everything from real-time payment systems to Minecraft dashboards and quirky little tools that I will likely never use again.

By day, I’m in the guts of Go microservices, Kubernetes clusters, API automation, and whatever CI/CD system I’m currently arguing with. By night, I’m soldering ESP32s, dodging Nerf darts from my kids, or trying to fix a heater relay while debugging a Minecraft plugin.

Prefer logs over dashboards. Prefer doing over talking. Prefer fixing it now over scheduling a meeting.
