Colin M.

Fractional CTO and Full Stack Developer

Full-stack developer specializing in Django and React, with 7+ years shipping production web applications for fintech, SaaS, and automation-heavy businesses. I build the whole stack: REST APIs with Django REST Framework, responsive React/React Native/TypeScript front ends, and the AWS/Docker infrastructure that keeps them running reliably at scale. Much of my work lives at the integration layer, connecting platforms like Plaid, Stripe, Twilio, Salesforce, and Microsoft Graph into clean, maintainable systems. I've delivered everything from a high-volume SMS and voicemail-drop platform to fintech API integrations and full applications taken from idea to launch. I'm a clear communicator who scopes carefully, favors minimal targeted changes over rewrites, and cares about delivering exactly what a client needs. Top Rated Plus with a 100% job success score and repeat clients to show for it.
