Summary
Stephen Cave is a Technical Director and senior web developer with 12 years of experience building high-performance, secure web applications across front-end and back-end stacks. He specializes in Angular-driven front ends that coordinate with REST APIs and CMS platforms, and has delivered HIPAA-compliant server and API work for healthcare products as well as large-scale event platforms for Google. His career blends agency and startup experience—leading mobile and templated web products for clients like Sephora and co-founding a health-tech startup—so he balances client-facing collaboration with deep technical ownership. Comfortable across Node, Java, and Python backends, he brings particular strengths in interactive JavaScript, cutting-edge CSS/HTML, network performance, and security. Based in California, he still consults freelance alongside his leadership role, which keeps him hands-on with architecture and implementation. An engineer who thrives on complexity, he often surfaces non-obvious trade-offs between UX responsiveness and backend scalability to deliver pragmatic, production-ready solutions.
