Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Miller is a founder and principal software engineer based in Melbourne with nine years of experience building resilient, observable systems and productised tooling. He has deep hands-on experience with blockchain integrations (Tezos, Polygon), smart contracts (Solidity, CamelLIGO) and backend architectures across Python, Java and Go, plus a track record of extracting shared functionality into reusable libraries. Owen founded civic- and movement-focused projects, currently building an AI-first CRM/CMS that leverages RAG to encode and extend canonical policies for grassroots organising. His earlier roles include driving recommendation and large-scale refactoring work at Amazon and leading engineering for data-rich startups such as Bevrly, where he combined NLP, large-scale search and pragmatic web apps. Beyond engineering, he’s applied product instincts to campaigns and party leadership, bringing communications, design and public-facing documentation into technical projects. He blends entrepreneurial curiosity with production-grade delivery—often tackling the awkward edge cases like CAPTCHA-solving scrapers and POS integrations that make systems actually usable.
