Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Bamford is a seasoned full-stack web developer and engineering leader with 13+ years delivering reliable, commercially-focused digital products on time and on budget. He blends hands-on Ruby on Rails and modern front-end stacks with strategic technical leadership informed by an MBA from the University of Sydney. As a former CTO and Head of Engineering for health-tech and payments platforms, he specialises in mature, predictable technologies that minimise technical risk while enabling rapid delivery. He also teaches and mentors software engineers, helping bridge the divide between business strategy and engineering practice. Based in Queensland, Australia, Michael favours auditable workflows (Git-first, containerised deployments) and pragmatic platform choices—often recommending Shopify or BigCommerce for ecommerce owners who must retain control of their digital assets. A longtime Rails practitioner (since 2008) who values coaching and predictable delivery, he thrives where product, process and people intersect.
