About Stephen Eades
I’m a senior software developer at Aware Innovations working on a variety of different software stacks. Alongside this role, I founded and manage Open Digital, a software solutions company that helps businesses of all sizes leverage technology to work smarter and scale effectively. Beyond my core work, I’m drawn to new ventures across industries—my challenge is often choosing which ideas to pursue first.My current interests span robotics, artificial intelligence, decentralized systems, and space exploration. I’m also fascinated by history, psychology, and the sciences. Outside of work, I follow financial markets, stay active at the gym, and enjoy time with friends. To balance my technical side, I engage creatively through philosophy, poetry, and piano.If you\'d like to work with me or have questions, please reach out via email: C••••••@StephenEades.info
