Top SchoolDonagh Hatton is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and platform services, most recently focused on network availability and reliability. He spent over a decade at Amazon advancing AWS-native platforms for network incident management, modeling, and EC2 workload placement, shaping long-term technical strategy and driving cross-functional ML and infrastructure initiatives.
