Summary
Stephen Scoza is a pragmatic full-stack software developer with over a decade of experience building and maintaining web applications, from custom WordPress ecosystems to Laravel and cloud-hosted LEMP stacks. He has repeatedly led small teams and single-handedly owned large initiatives—acting as product owner, Kanban lead, DevOps engineer and QA—to deliver brand refreshes, security hardening, and automated backup and deployment workflows. Comfortable across frontend technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript/Sass) and backend frameworks (PHP, Laravel, WordPress), he pairs hands-on coding with practical cost-saving decisions that have cut vendor spend and infrastructure risk. Stephen’s career includes founding a freelance agency, creating user-driven sites and SaaS-style tools, and contributing to cross-continental projects for high-scale education and corporate clients. Based in Port Moresby, he brings a mix of entrepreneurial grit and operational discipline that shines in legacy-modernization and tight-deadline delivery.
