Top SchoolShawn Esquivel is a Co-Founder and full‑stack developer in Vancouver who leverages a UBC chemical engineering background to build practical web and generative‑AI products. In a three‑year pivot from engineering to software, he helped launch Matchya, a therapist‑matching chatbot, and previously built scalable Next.js + Django data platforms at Ekona Power where Python automation cut routine review time by 80%. As an AI course creator he taught 2,800+ students to build six full‑stack AI apps using LangChain, OpenAI, Pinecone, Supabase and modern front‑end tooling.
