Summary
Michael Wiles is a Senior Software Engineer and Architect with 11 years’ experience building robust, high-concurrency business systems across Java, Python, C#, and TypeScript, and comfortable designing and operating on AWS. He has led architecture and long-term evolution efforts for enterprise-grade projects—from a large-scale Java platform at Sanlam to AWS-hosted Django services at Lumkani—while mentoring teams and owning delivery. Currently based in KwaZulu-Natal, he balances a deliberate part-time schedule as a hands-on developer, demonstrating that focused, senior-level contribution can be delivered in 4–5 hours a day without compromising quality. Michael brings a practical, feature-over-fashion mindset: he values transferable skills across languages and treats every codebase as something to be proud of. His background in theology and a family-driven relocation to serve an under-resourced region hint at a values-led approach to problem solving and collaboration.
