I'm a Software Engineer / Tech PM with 12 years of hands-on experience building distributed systems, cloud-native and AI infrastructure at Amazon Web Services, Intel, Oracle, and Verizon. I've designed and shipped production systems across AWS Elastic Block Store, AWS Lambda@Edge, AWS Personalize, and Intel's Tiber AI Cloud, covering everything from low-level performance optimization and storage systems to AI inference containers and observability platforms. I coach software engineers at all levels who are navigating the complexity of modern AI systems, distributed backend and cloud engineering whether that's cracking systems design interviews, leveling up to Senior/+ positions, breaking into top-tier tech companies, or transitioning into technical leadership. I bring real-world experience from both individual contributor and cross-functional leadership roles, and I tailor your learning to where you are and where you're trying to go.

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.
