Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDarren Stephens is a chartered IT professional and web specialist with over a decade supporting and developing web systems for higher education, currently delivering integrations and standalone apps as IS Specialist (Web) at Durham University. He blends hands-on full-stack development (HTML/CSS/JavaScript/Node/React) with systems engineering and web server administration (Apache, PHP, DBMS) and a broad scripting background (Perl, Ruby, PHP, shell, C, Java). Previously an HE lecturer and HEA Fellow, he brings a research-minded approach to engineering quality, metrics and web curation—work that has extended into memory, archival and cultural informatics. Comfortable across OS X and Linux administration and familiar with wiki/MediaWiki ecosystems, he focuses on reliable, maintainable web services for institutional contexts. Known for pragmatic tooling and integration work rather than flashy open-source visibility, he combines academic rigour with decades of practical web operations experience.
