Leon is on a mission to help builders build with data and serverless technologies. As a Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS), he partners with customers—from developers to executives—to design scalable, secure, and innovative cloud solutions. His focus is enabling organizations to accelerate their journey with data lakes, analytics, and serverless architectures—turning data into insights that drive real business impact.
He believes that “devs wanna dev.” Leon is passionate about ensuring developers have the right tools, patterns, and guidance so they can focus on what they do best: building. At AWS, he champions customer success by bridging technology and business outcomes, mentoring teams, and guiding best practices to help organizations adopt cloud-native approaches at scale.
Before AWS, Leon worked with companies like Lightbend, VMware, and TIBCO—launching developer-focused products and building a deep understanding of how teams deliver better software faster.
Outside of work, Leon can often be found writing code, speaking at conferences and meetups, or sharing ideas through blogging. He’s endlessly curious about data and serverless—and on a personal mission to discover the world’s best cheesecake (recommendations welcome 🍰).
