I'm Stephen. This site is part portfolio, and part digital garden of my thoughts. Hello if you're here :)
I grew up in Northern Virginia in a family of six before leaving to obtain my BS in Engineering Mechanics at the University of Illinois.
For the last five years I've worked at SpaceX, starting as a structures engineer supporting the Dragon 2 spacecraft, and most recently managing a team developing structures, propulsion systems, and mechanisms for the Starship launch vehicle.
I am deeply interested in engineering problem solving, and the idea that I can help engineer a more exciting future. I also enjoy various athletic pursuits, tinkering, and of course my friends, family, and amazing partner Liz. Check out our shared travel blog here.
Things I've been thinking about. Written mostly for me.
