Summary
Garret Wilson is an experienced technologist and entrepreneur with 23 years building distributed systems, standards-driven publishing tools, and compliance-focused data platforms from San Francisco. He founded GlobalMentor to commercialize e-learning and eBook technologies and played a direct role in shaping what became the EPUB standard through W3C and industry collaboration. Garret blends deep engineering skills—ontology/semantic web design, cloud architecture, and large-scale data pipelines—with legal and business training (JD/MBA) to solve regulatory and interoperability challenges. Recent work focuses on LLM-driven fintech data ingestion on Amazon Bedrock and Nova, following security and ML platform roles at AWS and LinkedIn. He enjoys mentoring and teaching, and is noted for rapidly mastering new languages and domains to create novel, practical solutions. A less obvious strength is his ability to move between low-level protocol and driver development up to high-level standards and policy work, making him effective across product, technical, and regulatory boundaries.
