Summary
Benoît Durand is a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon with nine years of experience building scalable, cost‑aware cloud services and performant web interfaces. He has moved between full‑stack and data roles—designing serverless simulation platforms with Lambda/DynamoDB, optimizing SQL and lazy‑loading to cut page loads from >100ms to <10ms, and reducing AWS costs through Glue job and resource tuning. A machine learning MSc graduate and hackathon enthusiast, he brings hands‑on NLP and Spark experience from earlier roles and a habit of mentoring interns into promotions. Active in open source across Django, AWS CDK and front-end tooling, Benoît pairs pragmatic engineering with clear internal communication—he’s shared 15+ short technical demos to boost team productivity. An understated strength is his ability to bridge science teams and engineering by turning simulation models and data pipelines into production-ready services.
