Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndre O'Brien is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with a decade of experience modernising microservices and building production web apps using .NET, AWS, React, Python/Django and DevOps practices. He excels at tackling roadmap "hard" problems by researching, prototyping and shipping proof-of-concepts that reveal practical, sometimes overlooked solutions. His background spans agency work—where he created a reusable CSS framework and backend boilerplate that halved delivery time—to product teams modernising large-scale systems at Xero. Comfortable as both a solo implementer and a collaborative engineer, he pairs front-end polish with backend reliability and cloud-native operations. Based in Wellington, he keeps learning actively (recent AWS and Rapid Software Testing coursework) and writes about the trade-offs of AI in engineering contexts.
