Top SchoolStephen Last is a Senior Software Engineer with two decades of experience and a decade in professional engineering roles, currently building at Shopify with a strong JavaScript focus across React, Node and GraphQL. He combines front-end craftsmanship (performance-minded HTML/CSS, Tailwind, BEM) with backend and data experience (Node, SQL Server, MongoDB), consistently delivering full lifecycle projects on time even under shifting requirements. A recognised team player and mentor—winner of company-wide awards and active on a Tech Advisory Board—he excels at onboarding, code review and cross-functional collaboration across global teams. He has a track record of shipping practical internal and customer-facing apps, from clinical trial tablet software to e-commerce systems with AWS automation and barcode-enabled warehouse tools. Notably, he moves comfortably between hands-on implementation and higher-level design for UX and web performance, and is quick to learn unfamiliar codebases and new libraries.
