Charles Gormley

I'm a Software Development Engineer at Amazon and a Drexel grad with degrees in Economics, Data Science & Computer Science. At Vanguard, I pitched and secured executive funding directly from the CTO for an LLM middleware platform, then led a team to build an automated API spec generation system that processed 8,000+ repositories across the organization. My team also owned Kong API Gateway infrastructure handling 30 million requests daily for business critical systems. I won Vanguard's quantum computing hackathon solo against 20 PhD ML and AI teams. Beyond the technical stuff, I ran Vanguard's Drexel Co-op Mentorship program where I organized hackathons and professional development workshops for incoming engineers. I personally mentored 4 co-ops, all of whom received return offers from the company. I know what it takes to navigate big tech, stand out as an engineer, and turn your work into something leadership actually notices. I can help navigate prepping for FAANG interviews, trying to figure out how to make your contributions visible, or thinking through your next career move.
