🧬 Steve Purves | @stevejpurves

Software generalist. Problem solver. Builder. Founder.


πŸ§ͺ What I Do (Right Now)

  • 🧠 Curvenote β€” I co-founded a startup to help change how science is written, shared, and reused.
  • πŸ›  MyST Markdown β€” Making Markdown do a PhD’s worth of work.
  • πŸ’» Thebe β€” Put code execution in the browser. Yes, really.
  • ☁️ Living somewhere between the cloud, scientific publishing and computation.

πŸ—Ί Where I Came From

  • Got into analysing signals, images and computer vision in the late 90s.
  • Researched CNNs when all I had was a Pentium.
  • Built GPU tools for geophysics when CUDA was the wild west.
  • Became a CTO because I can draw pictues too. Still shipping code.
  • Got paid to work with researchers and scientists (the really cool ppl).
  • Remote since 2013 and still loving it.
  • Geek out regularly on geology, molecular machines and genetics.

🧠 Current Brain Space

  • Living documents that talk back
  • Working for the open
  • Rich, semantic, networked content for science
  • Lowering the barriers to reproducibility
  • Turning publishing monoliths into democratic nodes
  • Building things that last longer than their funder’s website
  • Running, plant-based, oblate spheroid earther
