Staff Engineer

Aaron Hutchinson

Staff software engineer focused on building reliable, scalable customer platforms and guiding teams through complex technical decisions.

I lead technical direction for complex initiatives at a well‑known financial institution, partnering across product, design, and engineering to ship resilient, customer‑centric systems that perform under real operational pressure.

I’m at my best when problems are ambiguous: clarifying constraints, aligning stakeholders, and turning messy requirements into maintainable, high‑quality software. My work blends systems thinking, pragmatic execution, and a strong bias toward long‑term reliability.

This is my personal space to explore AI, experimentation, and the broader craft of engineering—sharing ideas, prototypes, and lessons as I go.

Work principles

  • Reliability over novelty, especially at scale.
  • Clarity first: align people before building.
  • Design for change, not just the current ask.
  • Own outcomes, not just outputs.
