Cloud Architecture & AWS Strategy

This 1:1 session is for software engineers, tech leads, and architects who want to design better cloud systems, make sharper AWS decisions, or prepare for cloud architecture discussions in interviews or at work.

If you are building on AWS and unsure about the right architecture choices, struggling with cost, reliability, or scaling, or preparing to present or defend an architecture decision at work or in an interview, this session will give you direct, practical guidance grounded in real production experience.

In this session, we can work on:

- choosing the right AWS services for your use case: Lambda, ECS, Fargate, SQS, SNS, S3, RDS, and more

- designing serverless, containerised, and event-driven architectures

- building reliable, observable, and cost-aware production systems

- understanding trade-offs between managed services, self-hosted, and hybrid approaches

- reviewing your existing architecture and identifying improvements

- preparing for cloud architecture discussions or AWS-heavy system design interview rounds

My guidance is grounded in production systems I have led: migrating from RabbitMQ to Amazon SQS, upgrading 64 Lambda functions across Python and Node runtimes, MySQL migration with zero downtime, building DataDog observability across 8 applications, and designing multi-year platform roadmaps on AWS at Clarivate Analytics.

You will leave with clearer architecture thinking, specific actionable decisions, and confidence in your AWS design choices.
