Principal Architect · Amazon Web Services · Chicago
Resilience is a leadership decision before it is an architecture.
I lead large-scale resilience programs for AWS customers and set up resilience centers of excellence inside enterprises. My current focus is carbon-aware cloud architecture: systems that stay up while using less carbon.
Invite me to speak
Perspective
Three things I help leaders get right.
- 01
Resilience at enterprise scale
Turning multi-region, failure-tolerant architecture from a project into an operating discipline, with chaos engineering that proves it works.
- 02
Resilience centers of excellence
Standing up the teams, standards and runbooks that let an enterprise own its reliability, not rent it.
- 03
Carbon-aware architecture
Treating carbon as a design constraint alongside cost and availability, so systems are resilient and responsible.
