About the Author
Steven Goodwin has been hooked on all things tech since he could barely reach a keyboard. He wrote his first lines of code at just 8 years old and crafted his very first synthesizer while still a teenager. Since then, he's worn many hats, developer, CTO, system architect, and worked with companies of all shapes and sizes, always pushing the boundaries of innovation. A true thought leader in the industry, he's also a speaker and a mentor, helping others navigate the ever-evolving tech landscape. When he's not geeking out over the latest tech trends, you'll find him... well, still geeking out over tech. It's kind of his thing.
