The person behind Arapo

Tamati
Iro.

Cook Islands roots. A practical approach.

I enjoy finding the point where technology makes everyday work easier.

My background spans software development, data engineering, business intelligence, systems integration, and connected devices. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Computing Systems and work full time as Manager – VAS at Vodafone Cook Islands.

Alongside that role, I take on selected independent projects through Arapo Solutions. My focus is on understanding how a business works, choosing the right tools, and delivering something people can actually use.

This website brings together my professional background, independent work, and personal writing on technology in the Cook Islands and beyond.
