Hi, I'm Todd
Setting the vision for AI and cloud — then making it real. I set the technology and AI vision that drives real business impact, and I build the teams to execute it. AWS Ambassador with 30+ certifications. AWS Summit speaker. US Marine veteran.
About
Curious about me? Here you have it:
I set the technology direction at the intersection of AI, cloud, and infrastructure — not just to push boundaries, but to create measurable business impact. I define the strategy, align the teams, and make sure we deliver.
I'm an AWS Ambassador and three-time award winner, including Top Global Ambassador in 2023 and #1 in North America in both 2022 and 2024. I hold all 12 AWS certifications alongside credentials across Azure, Kubernetes, and GCP, totaling 30+.
I invest in growing teams and elevating the people around me. I've spoken at AWS Summits on topics from mainframe modernization to real-time AI inference, publish thought leadership on agentic AI, MLOps, and cloud architecture, and contribute as a member of the Forbes Technology Council.
Before tech, I served in the United States Marine Corps, earning two meritorious promotions. That discipline, ownership mindset, and bias for action still shape how I lead, execute, and show up.
Finally, some quick bits about me:
