Stefan Taitano

I build systems for a living and escape plans for fun.

Army veteran. ServiceNow developer and consultant at Cognizant. Slowly getting better at Ruby.

Most days I work on large public-sector ServiceNow platforms — upgrades, integrations, data quality, and the design decisions that keep an instance healthy. Outside of work I am learning Ruby through The Odin Project, writing in public, and showing up in the Ruby community before I feel fully ready.

Right now

• ServiceNow developer and technical consultant, stretching toward architecture
• Working through The Odin Project Ruby path after RubyConf 2026
• Volunteering at Commit Your Code in Plano, September 2–4
• Sending Field Notes when I have something worth writing down

Writing and speaking

• Volunteering at RubyConf Before Becoming a Ruby Developer — lightning talk, RubyConf 2026
• Volunteering at RubyConf Before I Felt Ready
• I Built a Sticker Machine for My Kids
• It is 2026 and I’m learning Ruby on Rails
