Summary
👤
SeniorPeter Wilkinson is a pragmatic Lead Software Engineer with over 20 years of web architecture and development experience, currently leading engineering at myLot from Canberra. He combines deep full-stack expertise—Python, JavaScript, SQL—and production-grade experience with Redis, Splunk/Grafana, Nginx/Varnish and both AWS and GCP to simplify complex systems into maintainable, user-focused solutions. Comfortable from greenfield projects to long-running platform modernisations, he has a proven track record building high-scale, always-on systems (notably IPTV backend architecture) and mentoring teams on process and communication. As owner of a long-standing contracting practice, he bridges hands-on delivery with strategic technical leadership, often integrating external APIs, visualisation and GIS/geo tooling. That blend of practical tooling knowledge and systems thinking lets him move projects toward modern standards without losing sight of operational realities.
