He has led engineering efforts across startups and product companies—from Canva and Hootsuite to Adalo and Streak—shipping platform and feature-level work in Java, Go, Scala, React, and cloud environments like AWS and GCP. Toby blends product-minded leadership (led Adalo 2.0 and owned services like fonts at Canva) with hands-on execution, helping teams move models and services toward reliable production. He also consults and freelances, and briefly founded a consumer-facing project, demonstrating entrepreneurial curiosity alongside steady engineering discipline. Based in Vancouver, he prefers a pragmatic "build slow; ship fast" approach that emphasizes robustness over rushed releases. An experienced service owner and backend specialist, he brings proven judgment for scaling systems and operationalizing ML workflows.
