As a Startup Solutions Architect, I focus on early stage through Accelerator and Incubator firms to later stage VC funded Startups, working directly with Accelerators/Incubator/VC partners and customers in their portfolio to drive the technology behind their key business outcomes. I ensure my Startup customers can continue to successfully grow and scale by guiding them in AWS best practices, becoming a trusted technical advisor, advocating for my customer’s needs internally and through thought leadership in the industry via content creation and presentation delivery. I own the technical engagement and continuously develop and maintain deep expertise in AWS technologies as well as broad know-how around how applications and services are best architected using the AWS platform to facilitate customer success.
