Akhtar Hossain
Sr. Solution Architect, Microsoft Platform

As an AWS Enterprise Solution Architect I partner with customers and AWS Sales to craft highly scalable, flexible and resilient cloud architectures that address customer business problems and accelerate the adoption of AWS services. I collaborate with sales and drive revenue growth across a broad set of Healthcare and Life Science customers. As a trusted customer advocate, I help organizations understand best practices around advanced cloud-based solutions and work with the customers to migrate existing workloads to the cloud.

Also as part of my responsibility I help shape and execute strategies to build mindshare and broad use of AWS within enterprise customers. I am helping build a set of repeatable and reusable architecture and solutions around Software Defined Network (Virtual Network), Security and Identity Management. My current customers include Change Healthcare, Quintiles-IMS, HCA Healthcare, CHS – Community Health Systems), Nielsen, PPL Energy Supply, Thermo Fisher, Federal Moghul and others

I have over 20+ years of experience in IT architecture and solution delivery. I started at AWS as an Enterprise Solutions Architect at NYC almost 4 years ago and most recently as a Sr. Solutions
Architect in Global Life Science team. These past 4 years I have had the opportunity to help our enterprise customers like Warner Music Group, TE Connectivity, Nielsen, Ralph Lauren,
Colgate, Change Healthcare, IQVIA, HCA Healthcare, Talen Energy, Federal Moghul and others.

Prior to coming to AWS I was with Microsoft for 14+ years in different roles and capacities focusing on Microsoft App Dev Technologies including SQL Server, Active Directory, BizTalk Server, Productivity Tools and others. I am super excited to join the AWS Microsoft Technology Specialist SA Team. I look forward to focus and exploit my experience and background to accelerate the deployment of Microsoft workloads on AWS. I am equally passionate about AWS ML / AI Platform and IoT connected systems. When I am not working I invest in friendship, movies, soccer and cricket.
