Programming since 1997 — these days mostly Python and AWS, serverless and applied AI.

I love Python and I love AWS, and I enjoy combining the two into serverless, event-driven systems — somewhere between 500 and 1,000 Lambdas across the companies I’ve worked with. With colleagues and open-source enthusiasts I created sosw, a framework for orchestrating AWS Lambda.

Most of all, I love to teach — which is why SOSW also runs training programs for developers, alongside consulting and architecture design for complex web, event-processing, and data-processing systems.
