Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Sweetland is a pragmatic Head of Engineering with 11 years of formal experience and over two decades in web development, leading StoreLab's engineering and web teams from Northampton. A mainly PHP-focused developer who embraces "just give me a hello world" practicality, he balances hands-on coding with a strong emphasis on tidy, test-driven designs and elegant solutions. He has deep LAMP stack roots and broad experience across bespoke applications, framework-based projects, server management and database design. Stephen progressed from senior developer roles to directing web development and now engineering leadership, blending troubleshooting grit with long-term architectural thinking. He’s keen to learn new technologies and applies a pedantic attention to code quality that consistently reduces technical debt. A local technologist who quietly pairs legacy-system know-how with modern delivery practices, he’s as comfortable debugging servers as shipping polished user-facing features.
