Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Ousby is a seasoned technology leader and co-founder with over two decades of experience designing cloud-native systems and guiding large enterprises through AWS adoption. As a Principal Solutions Architect at AWS and former Head of Developer Experience at Macquarie, he combines hands-on engineering with strategic program leadership, having led teams up to 30 and managed multi-year, million-dollar projects across distributed systems, data analytics, and observability. He now channels that expertise into DroidMap, building a consumption-priced geospatial analytics platform that makes high-volume imagery, ML model training, and repeatable workflows more accessible for environmental and precision agriculture use cases. Comfortable presenting to thousands and running large-scale training events, he’s equally at home sketching architectures on a whiteboard or shipping CI/CD and sensor-network solutions. A practical polymath, he’s shipped everything from autonomous robocars to LoRaWAN farm sensors and brings domain knowledge in both finance and agriculture to bear on technical product choices.
