Summary
Michael Sarfati is a pragmatic full-stack software developer with 11 years of experience building resilient systems across finance, cybersecurity, and healthcare. He prefers Python/Flask but routinely ships services in Node.js, Go and Rust, and has a strong track record designing microservices, CI/CD pipelines, test-driven systems, and performant data pipelines. His work ranges from exchange order-book snapshots and billing CRMs to dark-web intelligence pipelines and AI-driven content moderation that materially improved regulatory compliance and reduced human moderation load. As a self-employed consultant he’s delivered revenue-boosting e-commerce automations and consolidated legacy tooling into cost-saving Slackbots, demonstrating an ability to turn technical improvements directly into business value. An avid open-source enthusiast, he blends low-level systems interests—OS, embedded, networking and virtualization—with product-focused delivery, and pairs a humanities background with technical rigor to communicate complex systems clearly.
