Luc Hayward is a software development engineer with 10 years of experience, currently building EC2 Managed Fleets at AWS with a strong foundation in systems, backend services, and applied machine learning. He holds a First-Class Honours and recently submitted a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Cape Town, where he also taught, set exams, and co-supervised honours projects—demonstrating both technical depth and an aptitude for clear technical communication. His work spans Rust and Go backends, SQLx migrations, gRPC microservices, and prototype 3D reconstruction systems, reflecting a knack for shipping practical solutions in small teams. Luc combines meticulous attention to detail with curiosity for new technologies and a habit of making developer workflows faster (for example automating dev database provisioning), and when not coding is probably climbing mountains.
