James Walsh is a Senior Software Engineer based in Canada with a decade of experience building production systems across startups and hyperscale platforms, including Meta, AWS, Coinbase, and early-stage Nexapp. He has deep experience in distributed services and orchestration, having worked on AWS Step Functions and Marketplace and Stablecoin-related systems, and recently returned to the startup world at Axify. Known for a strong systems mindset, he pursues compiler and virtual machine development outside of work, bringing low-level performance insights to high-level service design. Comfortable moving between fast-paced product teams and platform engineering, he couples practical shipping discipline with a curiosity for language runtimes and VMs that often yields creative engineering trade-offs.
