# About Me
2+
3+
Hi, I'm **Stephen Heindel**. I'm a software engineer with a broad range of experience across programming languages, platforms, and industries. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work on projects spanning embedded systems, mobile apps, web development (both frontend and backend), and cloud infrastructure.
4+
5+
My work has taken me through diverse domains—from commercial and consumer software to defense applications. I'm comfortable working across the stack and often take on roles that require both technical depth and cross-domain thinking.
6+
7+
Currently, I serve as a **Principal Software Engineer** at **Logikos**, where I work with clients on a wide variety of challenging problems. I also lead a small software team as a **Senior Software Architect** at **ROGO**, managing a distributed, multi-platform software system. Additionally, I run a consulting business, **SCS LLC**, where I focus on complex systems involving IoT and cloud architecture.

Throughout my career, I've used many programming languages, including, but not limited to:
10+
11+
- C
12+
- C++
13+
- C#
14+
- Python

17+
- Java
18+
- Kotlin
19+
- VB
20+
- Bash
21+
- Assembly
22+
23+
A sampleing of frameworks and tools I’ve worked with include:

27+
- MicroPython
28+
- Qt
29+

32+
- React Native
33+
- FastAPI
34+
- OpenLayers
35+
- Vite
36+
- ROS
37+
38+
I also have experience across several cloud platforms, including Google Cloud, AWS, Firebase, Azure
39+
40+
In short, I enjoy solving problems—software just happens to be the tool I use most often to do that.

# What is AirTable?
15+
16+
Over the past 3 years, I have been regularly using and developing tooling around [AirTable](https://airtable.com/), a no-code/low code platform that provides a powerful Excel/Spreadsheet style experience, including very Excel-like [formulas](https://support.airtable.com/docs/formula-field-reference), a user friendly [lookup](https://support.airtable.com/v1/docs/lookup-field-overview) in place of SQL foreign keys, and [rollup](https://support.airtable.com/docs/rollup-field-overview) which has a hint of SQL join.
17+
18+
Despite some well known pains, including a very aggressive [API limit](https://support.airtable.com/docs/managing-api-call-limits-in-airtable), a [pricing](https://community.airtable.com/product-operations-69/airtable-pricing-updates-for-2023-are-a-slap-in-the-face-for-pro-users-40253) [change](https://www.reddit.com/r/Airtable/comments/15ziz1n/new_airtable_pricing_updates/) that took their large user base by surprise, and some very public bugs which have caused production downtimes for my own services, their product is truly unique and powerful with a wide variety of convenience features that appeal haevily to business interests. It integrates a [Forms](https://support.airtable.com/building-and-sharing-forms-in-airtable) feature that provides powerful and configurable data ingestion, nicely built customized auto-generated API documentation (located at https://airtable.com/{your_base_id}/api/docs), a surprisingly robust [permissions system](https://support.airtable.com/docs/airtable-permissions-overview), and a wide set of [batteries included integrations](https://www.airtable.com/integrations), to name a few of its more impressive features.
19+
20+
In this series, my goal is to dig into some specifics of using AirTable, both its primary data API as well as its metadata API, and to demonstrate some tooling I've developed overtime to improve the usability of AirTable as a both a data backend and a user-friendly CRM. I won't bother to repease descriptions and definitions that AirTable has already nicely defined in its [AirTable Basics](https://support.airtable.com/docs/introduction-to-airtable-basics) documentation, so if you're new to AirTable, I would recommend you read through that first. I will be using the terms `Base`, `Table`, `Record`, `Field`, and `View` with the assumption that you know what they mean.
21+
22+
Over the course of this series, I hope to address some common pain points with AirTable, including
23+
- Dynamic schema/SDK typing (TypeScript focus)
24+
- SDK formulas (Python focus)
25+
- Formula Dependency Decoupling
26+
- Automatic Dependency Graph Generation
27+
28+
If you have other input or questions about any of my work, or need AirTable consulting specifically or AirTable consulting in general, feel free to [reach out](/contact)
