Currently Head of Customer Engineering, Canada at AWS Canada helping public sector customers innovate for Canadian citizens. I run a team of forward-deployed software engineers and an investment program focused on solving Canada's toughest challenges.
Previously co-founded vessel.co, ran engineering teams at Lightspeed, SSENSE, and LXRandCo, and developed for now-defunct Infantry Online.
After two failed ventures and one successful IPO of an omnichannel retailer, I've developed deep expertise in ecommerce, retail consumer, and payments industries. I help start-ups in similar industries with product development, technical direction, and growth. Email and LinkedIn are the best way to get replies.
