Hi, I'm Stephen
I’m a Computer Science student at Bennington College, with a focus in software development, embedded systems, and industrial design. But at my core, I’m a builder, tinkerer, and maker.

WHO I AM
If there’s one thing that defines me, it’s my relentless passion for bringing ideas to life—whether that’s through crafting software, robotics, exploring industrial design, or creating engaging content. I thrive on the rush of Hackathons. I game sometimes. Currently, I’m deep in love with full-stack web development and no, I don't use Vim/Neovim.
I post weekly tech tutorials on teksafari ,Instagram page. Music fuels my creativity—I often jam out to Afro beats, synth, Nu Jazz, Lofi Hip-Hop, and Trip-Hop while I work. I also love cooking and lifting weights
