AWS at Scale: An Introduction.

Introduction

I’m starting AWS at Scale as a place/topic to share strategies, skills and tips on how to build your AWS career, what to focus on to stay relevant, how to make an impact, and where to focus your time & energy in a large corporate enterprise.

I’m Lee 👋 and I’ve spent almost my entire career working as an architect designing at scale, in some of the world’s largest corporations.

I'm currently at Informa PLC where we operate at the heart of the knowledge & information economy, we connect humans through intelligence, academic publishing, knowledge and events.

I work closely with our Senior Leadership Team, Senior Stakeholders, InfoSec teams, Networks, DevOps, Developers, FinOps, Observability, Enterprise & Solutions Architects to provide leadership that ensures that what's built on our Cloud platforms aligns with compliance, governance, principles, standards, policies and general guidelines whilst maintaining the velocity of change and innovation that Informa demands.

I'm proud to be part of an excellent team that supports the people behind London Tech Week, Fan Expo, MegaCon, Monaco Yacht Show, Black Hat, Game Developers Conference, The AI Summit, MedTech and hundreds of other huge global events that you’ve probably attended at some point in your career. We’re 11,000+ people strong, FTSE 100 listed and north of £3b in annual revenue 💪.

We’re all in on AWS Cloud, we have no data centres, for an enterprise that’s north of £3b in annual revenue, that’s some achievement! 🌟

It’s ubiquitous, like photons 💡 and yes it can be a steep learning curve, but the juice 🍊 is worth the squeeze 🥤, and anyway - you’ll learn from someone that isn’t just reading and learning from documentation and labs, I’ve spent my entire career working at scale in some of the world’s largest corporations.

If you’re already on your AWS journey, it’s time to level up.

Many thanks for reading and i’ll be posting again soon, Lee ✌️
