Building distributed metadata systems on the AWS S3 Metadata team. Off-hours: LLM-powered intent recognition, real-time insight pipelines, and the occasional essay.
Background
I studied Computer Science at the University of Ottawa and earlier completed a Computer Programming diploma at Georgian College. Before AWS I spent a few years at BMO running incident coordination across the bank's mainframe and transaction-processing stack.
I'm a generalist by temperament — happiest when a problem cuts across services, languages, and layers. Lately that's looked like distributed metadata systems by day, and LLM tooling by night.
