RockstarBrian Jakovich is a Managing Director and seasoned cloud and DevOps leader with 14 years of experience designing and delivering Continuous Delivery solutions on AWS for clients including Sony Pictures, Macy's, Symantec and the U.S. Government.

Known for bridging deep technical craft with client-facing strategy, he brings a pragmatic focus on testing, deployment automation and infrastructure-as-code that reduces release risk and accelerates innovation.
