Aaron Wylie
Full-Stack Developer & Technical Founder
Full-stack developer and technical founder with 20+ years building software - from a 13-year custom development consultancy to inventing and shipping APPIX, a live-experience platform used by Disney, UFC and Red Bull and seen by over a million people. I build web and mobile apps, clean APIs, and the real-time and cloud infrastructure behind them, with a strong side in observability and system reliability. I work remotely with clients worldwide and care about shipping software that is fast, maintainable and genuinely useful.
