Summary
Stephen Tigner is a software developer with 16 years of experience building and maintaining web and backend systems, from legacy ColdFusion/Oracle stacks to modern C# ASP.NET and Java services on AWS. He has supported client-facing educational platforms, owned external APIs, and worked on AWS-hosted ML-interfacing backends at Amazon, including on-call and monitoring responsibilities. Stephen pairs practical production experience with a formal Computer Science background and study abroad in Japan, actively refining Japanese language skills toward a long-term goal of working in Japan. He returns to companies when the fit is right—recently rejoining currIQūnet as it rebranded to Acadea—showing loyalty and institutional knowledge. Comfortable across maintenance, feature development, and infrastructure-as-code, he brings a pragmatic, service-oriented mindset to shipping reliable software. Outside engineering he pursues Japanese culture and history, which informs both his communication style and cross-cultural ambitions.
