I took a break from freelancing for a while to run a crazy experiment. 25 projects in 25 weeks. A lot of it was experimental: https://stevenirby.me

It was a lot of fun. I was featured in TechCrunch, Engadget, and many more. I was on the front page of HN 4 times.

So now I'm looking for a freelance position where I can help a team with product development or AI stuff.

I'm the creator of this. I wanted to make a fun, silly thing for Halloween. Growing up, this was always pulled out during Halloween time and put in the window. When someone walked up to the door or you waved your hand, it would go off.

Hope it made someone laugh a bit. :-)

I'm looking for a co-founder to start an ambitious space hardware startup. Looking for a technical co-founder with experience building space hardware.

About me:

I'm Steven and I've been in the tech industry since 2007. I've been a software engineer since 2010. For the last 6 years, I did the whole digital nomad thing and worked remotely for most of that time. It's been one hell of a ride.

I'm ready for the next chapter of my life. I want to head back to California (where I'm originally from) to start a very ambitious aerospace hardware startup. Yes, no software for me ideally.

I've been on a ~2 year sabbatical where I finished an around the world trip of visiting all seven continents of the world. I'm not entirely up to speed yet.

Lately, I've been working on a side project for fun – https://randomdailyart.com/. I am doing a lot of work with Go Hugo. Also, a ton of cool automation stuff with Huginn, n8n, etc. I'm starting a video course on automation stuff.

I think it's better to start with the fun stuff I enjoy. Slowly, I'm getting back into the heavy TypeScript react work from before my sabbatical.
