Stephen Thomson

I’m a full-stack software engineer specializing in secure, reliable applications across web, mobile, and backend systems. I work primarily with TypeScript, React, React Native, and Node.js, and I enjoy building real-time messaging, API-driven services, and distributed infrastructure.

Most recently, I engineered and shipped production full-stack systems serving a live user base across security-critical, distributed workflows. I led the migration of a large multi-year codebase to TypeScript to improve type safety and long-term maintainability, and I optimized performance to reduce latency in real-time messaging and data workflows.

I’ve also built and extended client-facing libraries and applications, contributing to SDK and cryptographic infrastructure in collaboration with the BSV Association. Through secure identity, messaging, and token systems, I’ve worked deeply on transaction handling, signing/verification, protocol behavior, and stateful distributed messaging components.

On contract, I delivered a complete Android + React Native for Windows solution and embedded hardware firmware from scratch for Spray Navigator. I’m the kind of engineer who thrives on clarity, ownership, and practical problem-solving—and I’m currently open to remote, hybrid, or contract opportunities.
