As a Principal Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I focus on helping enterprise customers with VMware-based workloads migrate to and modernize on AWS. I joined AWS in 2018 as a Partner Solutions Architect specializing in VMware Cloud on AWS. Since then, I have supported some of AWS's largest enterprise customers, guiding their cloud migration and optimization strategies for VMware-based workloads. Over the years, my scope has grown alongside the VMware business at AWS, and I continue to be deeply involved in helping customers navigate their modernization journeys. I hold a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, with a background in applied mathematics and engineering. Prior to joining AWS, I worked in Silicon Valley as a software developer at a storage startup.
