Summary
Steven Black is a Java consultant and seasoned software developer with over 15 years of professional experience who blends practical engineering with a creative practice as an artist, author, and songwriter. Comfortable across many languages and environments, he prefers tools that don’t demand heavyweight IDEs and currently favors Python alongside active Java work. He consults for enterprise clients while running his long-standing personal project, yam655.com, and has a demonstrated appetite for rapid creative iteration—once streaming a marathon of improvised 14-track albums for a community milestone. Steven is fascinated by the intersection of computer-assisted art and human-driven creative systems, building custom programs to support his multimedia work. Based in Indiana, he brings a practical, multidisciplinary approach that bridges software craftsmanship and artistic experimentation.
