Solar Maximum Mission

Upon graduating from Berkeley in 1974, he worked for Lockheed, who had a vector graphics display that he was able to work with.

There he helped build a microcomputer system that was aboard the Solar Maximum Mission satellite, which launched in 1980.

He then moved to a company called Computer Sharing Services, working extensively with computer graphics.

Their main client was AT&T, and when it was split up, Steven's graphic work dried up.
