Hi, I'm Stephen.

I'm a staff software engineer in Austin, TX. I build developer tooling, AI-native systems, and large-scale frontend platforms — with a focus on the seam between how developers think and how tools are built.

At Adobe, I architected Commerce on Edge Delivery Services from the ground up and built the platform's AI layer: an llms.txt specification for LLM-optimized docs, Wayfinder (an AGENTS.md-based routing system for AI agents across a distributed doc ecosystem), and other agent-powered conversational skills for developer troubleshooting.

Previously, I was the a major contributor to PWA Studio , leading the REST-to-GraphQL migration on one of Magento's highest-traffic open-source projects.

If you'd like to reach me, send me an email.
