About

Tom Steven

Software developer, YouTuber, former English teacher. I build full-stack web applications and make videos about code.

I'm a software developer. I mostly do full-stack web development — browser, server, database, CI pipelines, anywhere the code takes me. That's what I like about it: I get to work on a lot of different things.

Before software, I spent years teaching English in South Korea. 한국에서 지냈던 시간이 정말 그리워요. 언젠가 다시 살고 싶어요.

I started this site as a hobby project while learning Elixir and Phoenix. It's grown into a home for my projects, my writing, and a guestbook aquarium that people keep adding fish to.
