Steve Sykora
Steve’s been tinkering with computers since elementary school, which probably explains why he can distill the most complex technical concepts into solutions that actually solve real-world problems. By high school he was fixing computers professionally, and by college he was building FileMaker databases for extra money. After graduation, he and his college friend Matt founded “The Stravin Group” to develop database-driven business solutions. By 2004, they were ready to do it right and launched Harmonic Data Associates.
As co-owner and President, Steve’s the visionary who sees possibilities where others see problems. You’ll find him leading strategy meetings, working through complex challenges, or exploring new approaches that push the boundaries of what’s possible. His partnership with Matt creates an ideal balance. Steve the strategist and Matt the builder have been the heartbeat of Harmonic for over two decades.
Steve’s tinkering instincts extend well beyond software. He’s usually got a DIY project or two going at home, and when he’s not fixing or rebuilding something around the house, he’s out riding or driving something with an engine. He and his wife Heather have four children and call Richardson, Texas home
