With over 15 years of tech experience built on top of a Bachelor's in Information Technology, Stewart brings an experienced and pragmatic approach to projects. He has been involved with many types of projects for clients both large and small in a variety of industries. The larger projects he's been involved with include systems with thousands of users across multiple sites for companies as large as Lockheed Martin, ITT Industries, Visteon, and Delphi or clients as small as Kidworks Preschool. In his career Stewart has worked on a variety of enterprise systems, including ERP (Baan, SAP), Warehouse Management, Manufacturing Execution, CRM, Document Management, workflow, and his favorite: Websites and web based applications.

Following his passion, in 2005 he started working with Drupal exclusively after examining existing Open Source solutions and identified Drupal as the most well extensible. He soon became hooked on the principles of open source and the benefits it brings to the enterprise of not being locked to a particular vendor, proprietary standard or protocol. In the spirit of openness he became active in the Drupal community as a contributor, frequent speaker, and local community organizer. Stewart has been involved with the LA Drupal community since 2007 and has co-organized ongoing monthly meetups since January 2008, and www.DrupalCampLA.com 2009-2012.

He has a passion for UX on the front-end and flexibility and security on the back-end. Due to this, he is equally torn between the beauty of handcrafted CSS or cleaver bash scripts on a server such as Debian, Ubuntu, or FreeBSD.
