Eli Fidler is a Sr. Principal Engineer with 14 years of experience building platform and web technologies, currently shaping local ML processing and privacy-preserving experiences on the Alexa Edge ML team at Amazon. He combines deep systems and browser runtime expertise—culminating in technical leadership of BlackBerry’s WebKit/runtime and enterprise file-sharing platforms—with hands-on work in peer-to-peer application platforms as CTO at Topology. Eli excels at bridging low-level graphics, text and performance optimization with large-scale product architecture, enabling resilient, low-latency client-side capabilities. Based in Old Toronto, he pairs an Engineering Science and M.A.Sc. from the University of Toronto with a sustained focus on practical prototyping and shipping across constrained, embedded and cloud-connected environments. An understated throughline in his career is turning browser and runtime research into production-grade, cross-platform user experiences.
