Summary
Adam Strawson is a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native platforms across GCP and AWS.

Adam has led platform strategy and SRE practices at startups and established firms, running on-call rotations, post-mortems and compliance-driven security improvements while enabling developer self-service.
