01 · About

I'm Steven Coochin, known across the developer community as DeveloperSteve. I've spent 30+ years in software, across enterprise platforms and developer relations roles at IBM, PayPal, Xero, Telstra, Snyk, GitLab and NGINX. Along the way I've given 291 conference talks, written 600+ articles and tutorials, and organised global hackathons with partners including the United Nations.

Today I'm CEO of AERIS, an ERP built for Australian trade businesses, and Technical Director at Clermont Digital, the agency I co-founded with my partner Emma. I also made MysteryOS, a puzzle-survival game where every level drops you into an alien operating system.

I do all of it from an off-grid property outside Clermont in Central Queensland. The enterprise-grade experience came with me. The commute didn't.

07 · Off-grid

Home is a tiny, solar-powered smart house off the grid, and it doubles as my test bench. Home Assistant runs the place, with ESPHome sensors, a local weather station and solar and battery monitoring feeding it. When a flood took out our electronics, I built something better. The 3D printer handles the parts that don't exist yet.

Built in Clermont, QLD. Powered by solar, curiosity and open source.
