Stephen McCormack

I build things.

Over the years, I've worked across technology, cybersecurity, international business development and consumer applications used around the world.

I've built businesses, developed technologies, worked with international partners and brought ideas from their earliest stages into the real world.

Today, I continue to develop and contribute to a number of independent projects, each with its own purpose and direction.

Current Projects

What I'm working on now.

October 2026

An Tuath – The Grid (opens in a new tab)

Unifying Hearts Globally

I created The Grid with a simple vision: to build a Grid of love around the Earth, one heart at a time. A place where people across the world can connect with their hearts at exactly the same moment, synchronising and sharing that connection.

The Grid is a free, independent, non-commercial initiative, developed separately from my other professional and business activities.

Today, it's a growing global community, supported by extraordinary people and volunteers contributing their time, creativity, knowledge and love.

It's a cathedral of love, being built one stone at a time by the many wonderful people who have become part of its creation. It's beautiful to witness it unfolding.

Build With ICE (opens in a new tab)

Ideas. Technology. Execution.

I co-founded Build With ICE, a technology development and advisory venture.

Together, we're bringing our experience, relationships and expertise to a new chapter of creating and developing technology.

We're fortunate to work with some extraordinary talent from around the world, drawing on an international network of relationships developed over decades.

Our focus is on bringing the right people together around ambitious ideas, combining technical expertise, commercial experience and practical execution to turn those ideas into working products and businesses.

At its heart, ICE is about people, relationships and the belief that remarkable things can happen when talented individuals come together around a shared ambition.

AskMax Security (opens in a new tab)

Making cybersecurity accessible.

I co-founded AskMax Security, a cybersecurity venture.

Drawing on our experience in technology, security and international business, we're building something designed to make cybersecurity more accessible to individuals and organisations.

We're working with a talented group of people who bring expertise across cybersecurity, software development and digital security.

Together, we're developing technology that helps people recognise potential fraud, understand digital threats and make better-informed decisions about their security.

Our ambition is straightforward: to make professional cybersecurity knowledge and protection more accessible, without the complexity that so often surrounds it.

A New Exploration

About

Over the past 25 years, I've worked internationally across technology, cybersecurity, business development and software creation, building businesses, developing products and operating in complex and highly regulated environments.

My experience has taken me into some fascinating environments, working alongside government agencies, defence contractors, police forces, international organisations and private businesses.

Beyond technology development, I have extensive experience in international business development, commercial negotiations and structuring complex agreements. This has included navigating procurement processes, user acceptance testing, letters of credit, international payment mechanisms and the financial instruments required to execute substantial cross-border transactions.

I've always enjoyed working with people, particularly when it involves bringing together different perspectives, exploring new ideas and finding practical ways to make things happen. I've been fortunate to work with some extraordinary people over the years, and those relationships remain an important part of my life and work.

Outside of work, my interests extend to yoga, meditation, travel, history and traditional cultures. I enjoy visiting new places, learning about their histories and meeting people whose experiences and perspectives are different from my own.
