Top SchoolRowland Ekemezie is a VP of Engineering based in Vancouver with a decade of experience building and scaling cloud-native systems, distributed teams, and automated deployment pipelines.

Rowland has a track record of unifying engineering practices across teams to improve CI/CD, testing, and onboarding while also providing high-level consultancy to clients.
