Amit Patel is a seasoned technology executive with nearly three decades of experience who currently leads Agentic AI as GM/Director at AWS, where he founded and is building kiro.dev. He previously spent a decade at AWS driving frontend web and mobile initiatives that integrate generative AI to boost developer productivity, and held senior global developer relations and strategy roles at Microsoft and Nokia. Amit combines deep technical roots (BSc Computer Science) with business leadership (MBA, Warwick Business School), enabling him to translate research-grade AI into production-ready cloud services. He has a track record of founding and scaling teams that sit at the intersection of product, platform, and developer ecosystems. Based in Seattle, Amit is known for bridging long-term strategic vision with hands-on execution and for bringing telecom-scale architectural thinking into modern cloud and AI product development.
