Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Savitzky is a veteran software engineer and indie publisher with over 15 years of modern experience and a continuous coding pedigree stretching back to the 1970s, blending systems-level work (C/C++, OS kernels, embedded Linux) with web services and tooling. He has led engineering and research efforts at companies like Ricoh and Amazon, built secure document and sync protocols, and published developer tools and music through his indie imprint HyperSpace Express. Now based in The Hague, he focuses on writing, WordPress-driven web projects, and a travel blog that uniquely documents accessibility and chronic-condition considerations for travelers. A self-described hacker/songwriter, he pairs deep technical craft with a long-standing creative practice—publishing both software and songs—and continues to ship practical solutions and tutorials for developers despite stepping back from full-time industry roles.
