Being in the software engineering space for over 20 years across multiple roles and organizations of different shapes and sizes has taught me a thing or two about how to build teams and deliver some incredible projects. I specialize in leading product and platform engineering teams at mid to late stage + enterprise organizations. I have been a people leader now for over 10 years and have had the fortune or working with some really good folks; some who achieved great results and some who didn't that gave me an opportunity to find ways to unlock their careers. Additionally, I am an advisor to VCs, early strange start ups and consult on various expert consulting platforms like Tegus. How can I help you? Or what can I coach you on? Really anything in people leadership like how to promote platform engineers, how to write strategy documents? How do I get promoted to Director? What should an interview panel look like for an infra engineer? How to resolve conflicts at work? How to read a room? How to run an effective meeting? How to continue to remain technical as a people leader? You have a need, feel free to ask and we can go from there.

Hi, I'm Cannon! I’m a software engineer who loves helping people level up their engineering skills. Over the last five years I’ve worked on everything from backend systems and cloud infrastructure to DevOps pipelines and blockchain projects. Right now I’m at Leland building the very platform you're using with Java, React, GraphQL, and AWS. Before that I interned at Amazon on the Alexa team where I integrated AI and large language models into certification workflows. I’ve also helped launch an NFT marketplace, optimized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes, and even co-founded a startup through BYU’s Sandbox Program. I know what it’s like to ship code, scale systems, and juggle the messy parts of real-world engineering. Whether you’re growing your backend fundamentals, getting hands-on with cloud, or curious about blockchain, I’d love to help you level up.
