Act as an AWS Cloud Subject Matter Expert (SME) on cross functional teams to help further the organizations mission.
Occasionally present to your team, our software developer colleagues, and researchers on DevOps best practices, new and interesting cloud technologies, and ways you approached and solved challenging technical issues during our Tech Talks webinar series.
