Stephen Wright
Chief Technology Officer

Stephen, who comes from a family of techies, started building his own computers at a very early age. His interest in hardware led him to Georgia State to pursue a degree in Computer Science. He started off his career in system’s administration and then moved into design and development. During his time in the field, he and Sean worked on many high-profile clients and after a few projects together, it was apparent the two formed a great team. Not surprising, as both share a passion for the web world. Since their initial projects, Stephen has become the lead developer at Freeworld, where he is always thinking of something cooler and more innovative to create.
