Tim O’Hare has been chosen by Macquarie Group to lead the engineering team in its banking and financial services group (BFS).
At BFS, Macquarie’s retail banking and financial services divisions, O’Hare announced, “I’ve joined the digital experience team.
“[I’m] eager to get started and create a top-notch digital bank.”
BFS is one of Macquarie Bank’s two divisions, along with commodities and global markets (CGM).
O’Hare, according to news has learned, is not a successor for Matt Ellis, who served as the bank’s engineering leadership before becoming the worldwide head of engineering for the larger Macquarie Group.
O’Hare previously spent more than seven years as the software development manager at Amazon Web Services (AWS).
O’Hare expressed his pride at having contributed to AWS’ success in a different post, saying, “I can only envision continued success in the future.”
The team in Seattle that launched AWS Nitro and significantly enhanced the network capacity and packets per second of EC2 instances around the world, according to O’Hare, was his privilege.
Over the course of eight months, he eventually changed roles, becoming the software development manager for Lab126, where “my team operated an ML data pipeline for the Amazon Astro robot.”
His team “developed AWS Solutions back in Sydney with the solution architecture organisation, scaling across customers over the APJ region,” he wrote.
O’Hare has also worked with Rio Tinto and Patrick Corporation in the past.
O’Hare formerly worked at Amazon.
