ALLIANTIST Team Member
Stuart Johnson
Head of Technology Design & Development
In his role as lead developer for FDM Group, Stuart Johnson was the original designer and architect of PAM - software for Alliantist. During his seven years employment with FDM Group, Stuart had a wide variety of experience and responsibilities including analysis, design and architectural consultancy, team leadership, mentorship and training, presales work, systems administration, development and support.
Stuart has over 9 years experience of IT development, specifically with Java web applications (5 years) and database design and development, especially Oracle. Stuart is one of the UK Pioneers of Ruby and Ruby on Rails, seeing Ruby as the "right tool for the job?" for enterprise data integration, and (for the last year and a half) Ruby on Rails for cost-effective rapid web development. Client engagements have included Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Group, Sun Microsystems, Virgin Atlantic, Egg, NetBenefit, Flextech and in house development for FDM Group. Projects have varied from spot consultancy and technical "firefighting" to systems analysis and team leadership of very complex business critical projects.
Stuart continues to undertake the design and development of PAM - both in terms of technical architecture and translation of business requirements into product tools and features. Stuart also contributes strategically, technically and operationally for Alliantist as the software roadmap and development plan matures.
