Stephen is a very talented developer who really knows his stuff. We threw numerous projects at him which other developers would not have been able to handle and he always pushed through and developed some great technology for the company. He is a good team player and always created very detailed project plans and kept projects on track using software like Jira and Confluence. I would recommend him to any potential employer.
