Summary
Erik Koning is a Senior AI/ML Engineer based in Ontario with nine years of hands-on experience spanning embedded firmware and PCB design to serverless cloud architectures and full-stack web applications. He’s built HIPAA/PIPEDA-compliant, TypeScript-first products (T3 stack) and led end-to-end development at Refdocs, pairing server-side rendering and Prisma/MongoDB-backed APIs for cost- and performance-optimized deployments on AWS. A pragmatic founder and former co-founder of an IoT startup, he brings low-level optimization skills—power, memory, and protocol design for sensors—into modern ML and cloud systems. Erik champions a human-centered engineering philosophy he calls “SPICE,” blending problem segmentation, nature-inspired design, continuous testing, and values-driven innovation to create resilient, evolving systems. Colleagues rely on him to bridge hardware-software gaps and deliver secure, efficient solutions that scale.
