Summary
Aaron Stanek is a Full Stack Software Engineer and Software QA based in San Diego with a Master's in Computer Science and a decade of technical experience spanning web, data, and systems services. He builds reliable production systems using TypeScript, Python, Node.js, SvelteKit/React, PostgreSQL, and Google Cloud, and emphasizes CI/CD, observability, and API design. His work has delivered measurable reliability and performance gains—subsecond page loads, zero recorded user-facing downtime after synthetic tests and gated CI, and a >90% reduction in 5XX errors following a phased Firestore-to-SQL migration he led. He also drives product outcomes beyond code: restoring third-party payment reliability, cutting monthly DB costs, and reversing declining organic traffic via structured data and SEO tracking. With roots in machine learning and physics, Aaron brings a strong systems-thinking approach and a history of automating slow scientific workflows into continuous, high-throughput pipelines. He combines hands-on implementation with documentation and SLO-driven monitoring to turn brittle stacks into observable, low-downtime platforms.
