Meet Steven : the person behind the code

Steven Silbert is a software developer and analytical problem solver with more than three decades of experience designing, building and maintaining software systems. His work has centred on PHP development, particularly CodeIgniter applications, where he has helped clients enhance existing systems, resolve complex technical issues and develop reliable, maintainable solutions. He enjoys projects that require careful thought, logical analysis and a practical approach to problem solving.

Alongside software development, Steven has a long-standing interest in mathematics, statistics and financial modelling. He has developed algorithms for specialised calculations, worked on trading system software, and applied mathematical techniques to real-world business challenges. Rather than viewing programming and mathematics as separate disciplines, he sees them as complementary tools for understanding complex systems and producing elegant, efficient solutions.

Steven is also the founder of Astro Cycles, where he researches long-term planetary cycles and their relationship to history, economics and human development. He has written several books exploring these subjects, combining detailed research with a structured, evidence-based approach. Whether developing software, analysing data or conducting astrological research, his work is guided by the same principles of curiosity, precision and a commitment to understanding how complex systems behave over time.
