Summary
Mitch Myburgh is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack web and mobile applications in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, React Native and Node.js. He has held technical leadership roles from founding CTO to lead engineer at regulated fintech and cannabis ecommerce companies, where he architected payment systems and telemedicine/video apps from the ground up. Comfortable as a lone developer or leading small remote teams, Mitch combines hands-on delivery with product-facing stakeholder communication and operational responsibilities such as devops and UI/UX design. He has deep domain experience in payments, telemedicine/video, marketplaces and heavily regulated environments, and has shipped production systems integrating Plaid, Modern Treasury, Twilio and Shopify. Educated with an honours degree in Computer Science from the University of Cape Town, he also brings entrepreneurial grit—having founded multiple startups and sold a product—and creative energy from hobbies like game jams and geocaching. Based on a career of entirely remote roles, he has strong asynchronous communication skills that keep distributed teams aligned while moving fast.
