About Me
Greetings! I'm Stephen. I live and work in the Twin Cities. It's a nice place; you should visit sometime.
I grew up in the town where I was born: Spartanburg South Carolina. After graduating from high school I had no idea what to do, so I went to college. While in college, I had my first exposure to computer programming and eventually decided to pursue computing as a profession. Since the liberal arts college I was attending had no computer science major, I came back home to Spartanburg and enrolled at USCS. I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science.
Work
Although I can do other things, nearly all of my programming work is in web development. Most of my work is done in PHP 5 using the Symfony MVC web framework. When I can get away with it, however, I prefer to use Python along with the excellent Django web framework.
Before starting work as a software developer, I participated in the Lutheran Volunteer Corps, through which I taught computer literacy in a low-income Minneapolis neighborhood.
