Senior🎓
Top SchoolBruce Cooper is a seasoned cloud and software engineering leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling AWS-based systems, including work that helped launch Amazon Go, Amazon Fresh and Amazon Books. He combines principal-level engineering and solutions architecture experience at AWS with hands-on delivery as owner of Mechination, a Perth-based consultancy that blends deep AWS know-how, IoT integration and cost-conscious professional services. Currently serving as Crew Tech Lead at Bankwest, he brings both large-enterprise program delivery and small-team agility to solve complex technical and organisational challenges. His background spans system architecture for high-throughput transactional systems through to modern cloud-native services, and he’s comfortable switching between boardroom strategy and coding in the stack. Based in Boorloo (Perth), Bruce leverages Amazon connections and practical cloud experience to accelerate outcomes for Australian customers. An often-overlooked strength is his long-running mix of pre-sales, sales-engineering and delivery roles, giving him rare visibility into commercial as well as technical success metrics.
