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