Stefan Adams is a pragmatic technology leader and entrepreneur with 11 years of formal experience and a decades-long track record building and growing small businesses from the ground up. As CTO of Keystone Technologies he combines executive strategy with hands-on engineering—having delivered a Linux-based thin client flagship product and assembling teams focused on tech solutions to improve seniors' quality of life. Earlier he founded and scaled Cogent Innovators to 16 employees and nearly $1M in annual revenue, serving over 250 clients and honing skills in sales, project management, and budget-driven innovation. A contributor to the Mojolicious Perl web framework, he brings practical open-source experience improving core stability and HTTP behavior. Based in rural Missouri, Stefan is equally likely to propose a software fix or recommend a non-technical solution, reflecting a balanced, outcome-first approach to problems. He also gives back locally by teaching computer science to high school students, keeping one foot in community and the next in applied engineering.
