About

I'm Stephen, a founder, builder, and lifelong learner. Currently working on Cilow, building AI systems with persistent memory.

Background

I took an unconventional path to tech. I bootstrapped a clothing brand and managed a construction company. Both taught me that understanding systems and getting the details right from the start saves massive headaches later.

Now I focus on building software that solves real problems, particularly around AI agents that can maintain context and memory across different tools.

What I'm Into

I spend a lot of time outdoors hiking and exploring trails. There's something about being in nature that helps me see patterns and connections I miss when I'm stuck behind a screen.

I play guitar regularly, it's one of my favorite ways to unwind and think through problems differently.

I read constantly, especially history about how technology changed society like the printing press, railroads, internet. I'm fascinated by good design (why some interfaces feel intuitive while others frustrate you) and how markets actually work.

On the technical side, I love building cool things in general. Whether it's memory architectures for AI, human computer interfaces, or just experimenting with new ways to solve old problems. I believe the best tools should enhance human capability without demanding constant attention.

I love discovering new music and watching films that break conventional storytelling rules.

Always learning, always building.
