Senior Software & DevOps Engineer · AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional) · Burnaby, BC
9+ years building distributed systems, container platforms, and cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP — with a growing focus on AI/ML tooling, LLMOps, and agentic systems. I like automating things that shouldn't be manual, and building tools that others can actually use.
