Yoan Gauthier is a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon with eight years of experience building distributed, event-driven, and data-intensive systems that operate across global regions. He combines hands-on full‑stack engineering with a founder’s mindset from co-founding an AR gaming startup, where he built mobile computer vision, serverless backends, and Kubernetes-driven deployments. Yoan has a strong taste for tooling and abstractions that accelerate developer productivity and safety, and he actively pilots generative AI integrations to improve team outcomes. Technically curious, he explores OCaml, TypeScript, and C# and draws on functional programming and simulation ideas to design deep, modular systems. His background as an elite athlete and lab instructor informs a disciplined, collaborative approach to problem solving under pressure. Based in Vancouver, he blends product intuition, academic rigor in AI and data science, and practical experience shipping reliable, scalable services.
