Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Forte is a founder and cloud-focused engineer with 11 years of experience helping startups move from prototype to profitable, resilient AWS deployments. After a mechatronics degree and a hands-on early habit of taking computers apart in Cape Town, he progressed through cloud support and solutions architect roles at AWS where he specialized in containers, CI/CD, cost controls and mentoring early-stage teams. In 2024 he launched MakeOps to manage DevOps and cloud operations for bootstrapped businesses, using automation and AI/ML optimizations to curb bills and speed delivery. He also explored climate-focused venture building and supply-chain AI through Carbon13 and SupplyCheck, reflecting a recurring thread of practical sustainability. Based in London, Jason blends technical troubleshooting with founder-level empathy, often surfacing inexpensive architectural fixes that materially extend runway for resource-constrained startups.
