01. About Me

Partner Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services, building the future of Developer Experience with Generative AI.

Based in Atlanta, I work with AWS partners and customers to transform how developers build software using GenAI. My focus is on building prototypes, validating solutions, and launching tools that actually improve developer workflows.

My work spans from underwater visual light communication research at Georgia State to building EKS validation tooling, contributing to Zed, and launching developer-focused GenAI solutions. I've evaluated 100+ AWS Partner solutions, co-hosted HowdyPartner, and contributed to AWS open source. Whether it's cloud-native architecture or mentoring engineers, I'm focused on building things that matter.

Focus Areas:

  • ▹ Developer Experience & GenAI
  • ▹ Partner Solutions & Prototyping
  • ▹ EKS Tooling & Validation
  • ▹ Cloud-Native Architecture
  • ▹ Teaching & Mentorship
  • ▹ Open Source Contributions

02. Beyond Code

Photography

Capturing moments and stories through the lens. From landscapes to portraits, I explore the world one frame at a time.

Collecting Records

Audiophile and vinyl enthusiast. There's something magical about the warmth and nostalgia of analog sound.

Self-Hosting

Running my own infrastructure and services. From home labs to production systems, I believe in owning your digital life.

Hiking

Exploring trails and pushing limits. Whether it's a local path or a mountain summit, there's clarity in the climb and peace in the wilderness.

Car Enjoyer

There's a special kind of love for cars that need you back. High-mileage, questionable decisions, character-building repairs — the shittier the better.

Legos

Technically adult sets, realistically just a grown-up excuse to build things, play with them, and admire them on a shelf. The satisfaction of the final click never gets old.
