• Drive Platform Adoption & Growth: Partner with RevStar account leadership to identify new, high‑value cloud workloads within client accounts, driving AWS consumption expansion and clear ROI for client executive stakeholders.
• Technical Mentorship & Practice Building: Coach and mentor Cloud Engineers and Solutions Architects. Drive internal RevStar accelerators, reusable Terraform modules, AWS Well‑Architected Review frameworks, and cloud delivery best practices.
