Stephen is a designer and technologist. In 2016 he cofounded CityGrows, a digital permitting platform for municipal governments, and served as CTO until it was acquired by ClearGov in 2022. His interest in architecture, urban design, and spaces for people has led to unique experience working at the intersection of technology, urbanism, and government.
