• I’ll keep tech bullet points brief because you can just read my resume for that. In my current role, I act as a technical advisor for Enterprise AWS accounts to guide them in achieving their business & technical Nirvana. The guidance involves architecture reviews, executive visioning sessions, demos/PoCs, cost optimization techniques, product feature launches, GenAI use cases and more GenAI use cases.
• In May 2019, I graduated from Emory University with a B.S in Computer Science and Mathematics. I am fond of the city of Atlanta but I had to leave post graduation because the southern food was just too good and I was at risk of having to increase my waist pant size (for a second time) to accomodate.
• At Emory, I must have set the school record for how many times one can change majors in a single year. I finally decided on Computer Science after signing up for Emory’s first ever hackathon during my sophomore year. I'm pretty sure we came in dead last during the judging, but I loved the collaborative nature of being on a development team to turn an idea into a working prototype within 24 hours.
• During my degree, I took a variety of Computer Science courses such as: Artificial Intelligence (before it was cool), Assembly Programming (who doesn’t like C), Discrete Structures (I discreetly tried to hide my grade from this class from my parents). I always enjoying the architecture and theory of the concepts I was learning versus the actual coding. This is most definitely why I am a Solutions Architect today.
• Growing up, I've held a lot of random non-tech jobs (Mediterranean sandwich shop worker, youth basketball fill-in coach, healthcare call center agent, door-to-door solar panel salesman) that I'd be remiss if I didn't mention here. These roles were crucial in all aspects of my development and truly showed me the value of customer obsession and being a team player. These roles also gave me some core memories that I'll probably write a book about one day (working on Easter Sunday as the only sandwich shop open on campus, coaching my high school prom dates' brother to victory, spam calling every family member in my contacts trying to sell Solar).
