Nicole Miles
@nicolemiles
Senior Platform Engineer building scalable web apps, APIs, and cloud-native systems with React, Python, and AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack developer and platform builder with 7+ years building scalable web applications, APIs, and cloud-native systems. I bring end-to-end experience—from React and TypeScript frontends to Python and Node.js backends—backed by strong foundations in AWS infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and observability.
Most recently, I’ve maintained and scaled a microfrontend SPA platform at Thrive Global Inc., improving deployment independence and resilience with Cloudflare Workers and Pages. I built internal tooling to standardize safe deployments, established an end-to-end UAT environment to reduce release risk, and implemented Datadog observability to cut mean time to detection and recovery.
