Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Watkins is a Software Development Engineer II based in Vancouver with eight years of experience building scalable distributed systems and full-stack features, currently contributing to Amazon's large-scale recruiting infrastructure.

Comfortable across systems engineering, web platforms, and medical imaging tooling, he has shipped production integrations and user-facing tools from LAMP stacks to complex graph editors. An analytical thinker with an honours degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, he pairs engineering pragmatism with curiosity—off the clock he translates bread and tomatoes into code, rows, runs, cycles, and plays guitar.
