Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Mcmillan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Dunedin, New Zealand, with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering full-stack applications across satellite tracking, property management, and logistics domains. He has a strong engineering background in application architecture and API design, and currently drives engineering work at Jobloads after senior roles at TracPlus where he built tracking and monitoring solutions for first responders. A practical problem-solver, Alex has improved open-source GraphQL for .NET by hardening DateGraphType handling (UTC coercion, null safety and StringValue support), showing attention to edge cases in distributed systems. He combines backend rigor with a history of frontend migrations and tooling—previous work includes React SPA migrations, dynamic visualisations, and document import/export integrations—so he comfortably spans client and server concerns. Colleagues know him for pragmatic design, mentoring, and shipping reliable systems that answer real-world operational needs.
