Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Coy is a senior developer and pragmatic architect with over 30 years in software development and more than 15 years focused on enterprise Java across telecommunications and insurance. He blends hands-on coding—contributing bug fixes and improvements to prominent open-source projects like WildFly—with higher-level solution design, developer education, and build/release modernization. Known as a “blue collar” architect, he excels at taking messy legacy systems to maintainable, testable platforms (notably migrating large Subversion histories to Git and introducing Arquillian-based integration testing). His experience spans JBoss/WildFly, WebSphere, WebLogic and Tomcat deployments, session replication and SSO-enabled proxy solutions, and he remains an active community contributor and forum leader. Based in Sydney, he pairs deep practical troubleshooting skills with clear architecture documentation and mentoring.
