ESSENCE DIGITAL
Over the past 13+ years I honed my principally self-taught
knowledge to build extendible and maintainable object
orientated code. I am a quick learner, able to pick up new
concepts and ideas quickly and use them effectively.
I hope to continue building my skills, expanding them to
take in a wider scope of environments and languages.

FURTHER DETAILS
STEPHEN JOHNSTON
I am responsible for co-planning and implementing a ground-up build of a Magento Enterprise
taking into account the special requirements of this business, as well as providing support to
other departments on integration with existing back-end solutions. This platform was then
extended to be rolled out EU.
I implemented the use of Vagrant boxes for local development and the use of Git for version
control and deployments. I also was in charge of setup, configuration, and maintenance of
all servers. I implemented a Master/Slave/Slave database configuration for staging and
production with Percona 5.6. To further improve the performance of Magento I
implemented HHVM, Solr, and Redis.
MAGENTO DEVELOPER - ROBERT-HALF TECHNOLGIES
As a Sr. Web Developer, specializing in front-end engineering, Stephen worked with two
additional developers to create highly customized dashboards for the Data Science and
Services (DSS) team at eBay. Stephen was specifically brought into DSS to improve code
quality and lend his year of front-end experience to other team members.
With limited prior Java experience, and gleaning knowledge from senior Java developers,
Stephen also gained an understanding of SpringMVC. In addition to this, and while not a
requirment of the position, Stephen created API documentation and a Code Style Guide
for the DSS team. Stephen also lead development one of the most successful dashboards
for the Marketing Intelligence Platform, ePN.
Stephen leveraged HTML5, CSS3, SASS, Web Storage API's, CoffeeScript, jQuery, and
Underscore to create the front-end dashboard experience.
