Howdy.

My name is Stephen, but you should call me Steve. I love the Internet. I'm insufferably curious. I like to make things. Welcome to my spot on the web.

About me

I'm currently an engineer at Stripe.

I was previously a research scientist in the NOISE group at the School of Computer Science at Georgia Tech. I built systems for BISmark, a project to better understand broadband Internet access networks, home networks, and the behavior of home network users, all from the vantage point of the home router.

I'm interested in the technical, economic, and public policy aspects of operating the Internet, and the organizations and communities that support and engage in these activities. I am also interested in the coordination, management, and governance of critical Internet resources and infrastructure. Finally, I'm also a bit of a hacker, and am broadly interested in computer networks and systems, Internet measurement, and computer systems security.

I studied Computer Science and Technology Policy at MIT and Computer Engineering at the University of Manitoba.
