Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMoray Macdonald is a pragmatic senior developer with over a decade building secure, production-ready web applications and infrastructure for startups, agencies and government clients. He spans the full lifecycle—from requirements and architecture to deployment and ongoing production support—and has a track record of delivering measurable improvements (including a 300x performance uplift from a data-layer rearchitecture). Comfortable across cloud platforms (notably Azure and AWS), event-driven microservices and CI/CD, he also advises early-stage teams on product-market fit and prototypes MVPs as a freelance consultant. Moray thrives when given ownership, mentors small teams, and has hands-on experience migrating legacy systems to modern GraphQL/TypeScript stacks. Based in Devizes, England, he combines an MPhys in Physics & Astronomy with a practical appetite for problem-solving and a playful open-source sign-off line on GitHub: "go-unicornify, before you ask."
