Top SchoolMomo Kornher is a Senior Software Development Engineer and cloud-native full stack architect with 14 years of experience building production systems and developer tooling. Based in Glasgow, he blends hands-on engineering at AWS (contributing to the widely used AWS CDK) with a background in leading teams and startups from New Zealand to the UK. He brings a strong academic foundation in Computer Science and Media, an eye for usability and analytics, and a track record of improving developer workflows (notably through contributions to projen and CDK). A former scout leader-turned-engineering coach, he emphasizes mentorship and raising team capability as much as shipping robust code. Recently his curiosity has focused on Conversational AI and advancing human–computer interaction toward more natural interfaces.
