Top SchoolEdward Smith is a Platform Architect with eight years of cloud and infrastructure leadership, currently shaping backend services and 24/7 operations at Deluxe. He specializes in building scalable, resilient AWS-hosted platforms using Go, Kubernetes/Nomad, PostgreSQL, and IaC tools like Terraform and Packer, and has a strong track record implementing serverless microservices and observability with DataDog and CloudWatch. His background spans DevOps, SRE, and embedded systems engineering—bringing deep operational discipline from military and enterprise-scale projects to modern platform design.
