About me

Hello! My name is Stephan Schwab.

I build and rescue software, and I write fiction about the human side of how it gets made. Here you’ll find my stories and novelas, notes on craft, and field notes from a life lived across several worlds.

Working with software teams is what I do professionally — see how on caimito.net. You can also read about my experience since 1986.
