Top SchoolVictor Schappert is a Principal Engineer with 13 years of software engineering experience, currently building AWS geospatial services and contributing to the Overture Maps Foundation from Vancouver. His career blends deep systems and platform work at Amazon Web Services with earlier R&D and engineering roles at Bloomberg and startups, plus a unique detour through legal training and articling.
