About me

I’m Steve Stedman, a technology leader with 18+ years experience empowering diverse cross-functional teams and driving all phases of the software development life cycle. I take pride in crafting elegant, empowering, and engaging customer-focused web experiences.

I am an avid learner, deeply involved with the Austin tech community, and eager to inspire that enthusiasm in others.

Here’s the spec sheet for my current tech stack:

• Static site generator: Eleventy (11ty)
• Templating language: LiquidJS
• Syntax highlighting: Prism, Atom Dark theme
• Icons: Ionicons
• CSS framework: Bulma
• CSS preprocessor: Sass, node-sass
• CSS cleanup: PurgeCSS
• JavaScript linting: ESLint, Airbnb config
• Source code repository and hosting: GitHub
• Deployment (CI/CD): GitHub

I also explored html-minifier but felt the additional dependency and build step wasn’t worth the ~2K savings per page at this time.
