Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Scolaro is a senior software engineer with 11 years' experience building reliable, production-grade systems across finance, mining, IoT and retail. He has driven end-to-end architecture and trading infrastructure as CTO at a crypto trading firm, built Python data pipelines and optimisation webapps that saved mining clients millions, and now helps millions buy groceries at Amazon. Comfortable across embedded firmware, backend Python, SQLAlchemy, AWS and real-time monitoring, he pairs deep technical hands-on coding with product-focused problem solving. His background in physics and electrical engineering underpins an analytical approach—he once designed a 1.3µm-resolution imaging objective for quantum-atom experiments and has shipped low-power IoT systems at CSIRO. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic debugging, performance tuning and translating domain complexity into reliable software.
