In my role as a Senior Developer Advocate for the container services team, I led evangelism and advocacy efforts including launching successful initiatives like Containers from the Couch, garnering over 30k subscribers and over 1 million views. I also launched the ECS Workshop, averaging ~25k visits per month, to enable learners to quickly grasp challenging concepts when using Amazon ECS across various use cases. I also served as an engineering advisor to internal Product Managers providing feedback on feature requests, and customer problem statements. I played a key role in the launch of services and features by providing guidance, feedback, and testing along with promotion and outbound campaign planning. I served as the subject matter expert in developing a public training course for customers on beginner to advanced topics related to Amazon ECS. In addition, I led multiple technical talks and presentations varying from 100 to 400 level content as well as wrote blogs to support feature releases with demos, documenting best practices, and thought leadership.
