Summary
Gregory Hoggard is a Senior Cloud Consultant with a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating scalable AWS architectures from serverless microservices to containerized deployments. He has progressed from Associate DevOps Automation Engineer to senior roles at Vertical Relevance, bringing deep expertise in IaC (CloudFormation, Terraform), CI/CD (CodePipeline, Jenkins), and observability across multi-account environments. Gregory’s background includes building production e-commerce platforms and automating complex order and deployment workflows, demonstrating a blend of developer empathy and operational rigor. He routinely applies serverless patterns (Lambda, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB) alongside container strategies (ECS, EC2, Docker) to match cost, scale, and resilience goals. Based in Falls Church, VA, he pairs practical implementation skills with architectural insight, often surfacing automation opportunities that reduce toil across teams. Colleagues know him for turning cloud-native best practices into repeatable, auditable delivery pipelines rather than one-off fixes.
