Living with my head in the clouds... All day! Every day!!!
I build clarity out of complexity.
I am Maish, a Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, an architect, a builder, an author, and an international public speaker.
For nearly two decades I've helped teams cut through the noise from the datacenter to

This is where I write down my thoughts, argue a little and show my work.
Welcome to my humble abode.
