Hello, I am Stephen
(not Steve) Peasley.

By day, I’m a front-end web developer at Veer. By night, I like to imagine that I’m an ace helicopter pilot. I’m based out of Calgary for both jobs.

I’ve been at it for over a decade and even survived a stint working for the government. I love design and type. I like working with and learning from great people.

When I’m not working I enjoy running, biking, coffee shops, guitar, and XC skiing. I love dogs (sorry, cats).

The last few years of my career have been the most rewarding yet. I’ve worked with incredible people from whom I have learned a lot.

I love design and typography and am continually working to improve. I don’t get to design much (I’m mostly a benchwarmer over at Dribbble) but love it and am blossoming like a beautiful flower.

I’ve been doing a lot less Flash work in the last couple of years. Good thing I spent all that time learning and slamming my face into my desk as I switched over to AS3.

TidbitsI am 5′10″ / My blood type is O+ / I’m a non-smoker / I type 85 WPM / I am irritated by poor spelling, punctuation and grammar / I’ve never actually been in a helicopter / I like Dr. Pepper / I don’t say anything after someone sneezes / I have no piercings or tattoos / I love Loveline / My hands are usually a bit shaky (let’s not dwell on it) / I haven’t been in jail yet / I enjoy crosswords / I like 5¢ candies

What I offer to my workplace is a calm energy, a strong work ethic, good brainstorming, a thirst for personal growth, good sense of humour (with or without filters), attention to detial, accountability, and great shared kitchen habits. I am sometimes a low-talker but that’s just to get people to lean in so I can suddenly yell.

What I need from my workplace is a good energy, respect, trust, collaboration, love and care for the brand, respect for my work-life balance, a good sense of humour, and great shared kitchen habits. We’ll work well together to make cool stuff, understand if there are hiccups along the way, and be proud of our work but know that life outside office walls matters too.

These are some projects
I’ve worked on lately.

The Internet has changed
a lot since 2006.

When your web browser was current, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes weren’t even married yet. Even then, Internet Explorer 7 was never built with the required care to properly display Internet content.

Your Internet experience will be a lot better when enjoyed with a self-respecting browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or a lightbulb and a potato.

In the meantime, this site won’t look good. How quaint.
