Stephen Looney

Founded a profitable software startup providing application design and development services for B2B and B2C SAAS products, specializing in Swift, Flutter, and AWS. Partnered with Webflow to bring custom SAAS applications to market for the launch of the Webflow App Marketplace, achieving over 20,000 website installs.

Consulted as a senior iOS developer and technical project manager across all projects, ranging from financial applications, BLE device development, and social media applications. Led development teams as a project manager and senior developer, delivering 100% of our products on time and on budget.

Deployed an automated pollutant emissions reporting system, which saved an estimated 1 hour and 15 minutes of technician time per day. The system is still in use as of January 2025.

Led yield enhancement (YE) and oxide/photoresist plasma etch process engineering for the digital micromirror device, the most successful commercial MEMS device in history. Diagnosed and resolved process issues through statistical process control, large dataset analysis, and complex data visualizations, saving approximately $10M/year through optimizations.

Integrated new products into the fabrication process while protecting existing manufacturing processes. Created robust software models for optically measuring thick MetDCU oxide and nitride films and developed novel thin film plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition recipes.
