About: Anton Miles

Across ten-plus years of professional development, I shipped B2B and B2C web apps: React frontends, Node.js APIs, MongoDB and PostgreSQL data layers, and AWS infrastructure (S3, CloudFront, Lambda, Route53, EC2). I like the parts of the job that most people avoid: splitting a tangled monolith into shared packages, wiring up CI so releases stop being scary, and making public endpoints boring and safe.

I am currently a software developer at Batteries Included, LLC, a software shop building products for other companies. Recent work includes a spam-resistant contact API, ongoing Rust receipt-validation services, and self-managed infrastructure on XCP-ng.
