Ross Hill - Projects and Experience

Welcome to my corner of the web

I'm a full-stack engineer in Toronto with a builder's mindset. I turn messy product and technical problems into software that feels intuitive and reliable. I lead engineering work, help teams make practical technical decisions, and stay close to the craft. Recently, I've been exploring how AI tools can improve product and engineering workflows without compromising good software design.
