Steve Mitchel

Full Stack Developer & Word Game Creator

8+ Years Experience Word Game Specialist Open Source Contributor

I'm a full stack developer with a focus on interactive web applications. My work lives at the intersection of language, logic, and interface design — which is why word games and text-processing tools have become my specialty.

I enjoy working on both the client and server side, building systems that feel fast, reliable, and intuitive. Every project I ship is carefully considered from architecture to animation.

When I'm not coding, I'm probably solving a crossword or reading about linguistics.
