Ari M.
Senior Software Developer | PHP, Go, Vue.js | 4x AWS Certified
I build reliable, well-architected software and cloud infrastructure that holds up under real-world load. I'm a senior full-stack developer with 12+ years of experience across finance, education, e-commerce, and aged care. I've led development teams, owned AWS infrastructure end to end, and shipped production software that's secure, highly available, and built to stay up. If you need someone who can both architect the system and write the code, that's where I'm at my best. What I bring to your project: - Full-stack development in PHP, Node.js, Vue.js, and Python (including data/ETL workloads), plus Go for systems-level work - AWS cloud architecture: provisioning and managing infrastructure with a focus on security and high availability (AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Developer, Cloud Practitioner, and AI Practitioner) - Site Reliability Engineering: performance monitoring, uptime, and fault-tolerant design at every layer of the stack - E-commerce builds and integrations - Technical leadership: translating stakeholder requirements into clear technical specs, raising code quality, and keeping teams aligned I care about clean code and extreme programming (XP) principles, and I treat software as a craft rather than just a deliverable. Whether you're building something new, scaling what you have, or stabilising infrastructure that keeps breaking, I can help you get it done right. Let's talk about what you're building.
