I am a freelance software engineer, author & educator with experience in startups and large enterprises (8+ years).
I have practical expertise in AWS, having migrated production workloads and developed large-scale applications.
I share many insights online and in person to help others with AWS and avoid common pitfalls (which I've painfully experienced in the past).
As the author of "AWS Fundamentals" and "The CloudWatch Book", I provide guidance for both new and experienced cloud professionals.
Together with my good friend Alessandro Volpicella, I also run a 9300+ readers bi-weekly AWS newsletter.

Rethinking CloudWatch: Advanced AWS-native Observability That Can Save You $100k+ On 3rd Party Tools
CloudWatch has changed—and most people haven’t noticed.
In this talk, I’ll dig into why the usual complaints about CloudWatch being clunky, overpriced, or too limited just don’t hold up anymore. I’ll walk through real-world ways to use its newer features to build solid observability setups—without jumping straight to expensive third-party tools.
I’ll also cover how to keep costs low without losing the metrics, logs, and traces you actually need.
