We would prefer to leave Stephen's project up to you to decide! That way, you can determine which path is most interesting for you and Stephen.
As for his advancement once he has a project - assuming Stephen is able to help with insights and breakthroughs, you can have him start having more time to himself in the labs within a couple months. As he will still be a lab tech, he'll have to touch base with his employers, but good work will grant him more independence as they come to trust him.
When it comes to developing an application and falsifying research, Stephen and other characters would be able to create apps for the implant. However, the key here is expertise. Anyone involved in this project would have to bring themselves up to date with the world's technology, which would take time, and then they would need to find a way to utilize the application so that Stephen's research information looks legitimate. There would be a number of steps in pulling this off, but it is certainly feasible!
