Brian Maiyo
Solutions Architect & AWS Cloud Engineer
Architecting scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions with 2+ years of expertise in AWS infrastructure, serverless computing, and DevOps automation
About Me
I'm a passionate Solutions Architect with over 2 years of hands-on experience in AWS cloud technologies. My expertise spans across designing and implementing scalable cloud architectures, from serverless applications to enterprise-grade multi-account setups.
My journey in cloud computing is driven by a deep fascination with how technology can solve real-world problems at scale. I specialize in non-ML workloads, focusing on compute, networking, databases, and security solutions that deliver tangible business value.
When I'm not architecting cloud solutions, you'll find me documenting my learning journey on my blog, experimenting with new AWS services, or contributing to the cloud community through knowledge sharing and mentorship.
