About

Hi, I’m Joel — a Software Development Engineer at Amazon (AWS) and a recent Computer Science grad from McMaster University. I’ve focused on software engineering, machine learning, and building scalable solutions.

Before AWS, I completed Co-ops at ATS Automation and Evertz Microsystems, where I gained crucial experience building reliable systems and writing clean code.

Outside of tech, I enjoy soccer, basketball, volleyball, and go-karting — all activities that keep me sharp and remind me the importance of teamwork.
