Hey, I'm Stephen, I'm a full-stack engineer and a Broadway actor, based in New York City.

As an actor, I've appeared on stages around the world, from Broadway and Off-Broadway, to the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, to Beijing and Macau, China. I've also appeared on CBS and Amazon Prime TV shows, as well as in national commercials. I'm passionate about developing new plays, and have seen several through from early readings to world-premiere productions.

On day two of the pandemic, with the theatre and film/tv industries suddenly shut down, I began my self-taught journey to learn to code. What started as a curiosity quickly grew into a new passion and a complementary career to my acting career. I now have 5 years of experience as an engineer, currently working for SafeBase, the industry leader in trust centers and questionnaire automation.
