Having worked with AWS for several years, I became fascinated by the cloud. You rent servers from someone else, and every day those servers do more and more for you. AWS is constantly moving companies "up stack". If you're not moving with them, you're paying too much and you're losing out on rich opportunities. This job at Cloudreach exposed me to thousands of architecture solutions, hundreds of companies, and dozens of industries in North America, England, and Germany. I completely fell in love with data and the power of restoring order and reality to a company's operations.Met tons of great people and it's so cool to see them growing in their cloud careers too.It was here that I decided to commit my career to unlocking the power of data with the cloud.
