Sean Sawyer is a pragmatic software architect with 15 years of experience designing and shipping cloud-native, serverless systems from startup to enterprise. Based in Atlanta, he specializes in AWS-driven, event‑driven architectures—using CDK, Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge Pipes and DynamoDB—to build scalable, cost‑efficient microservices and real‑time workflows. He moved from hands‑on production engineering and Ruby/Rails work into founding engineer and architect roles, bringing deep operational rigor (including multi‑cloud telemetry ingestion and major cost optimizations) to product development. Known for collaborating closely with product and leadership, he repeatedly turns ambiguous requirements into automated, testable systems that accelerate iteration. A practical tinkerer (and self-described “do it for the pizza” developer), he blends customer-facing deployment experience with strong infrastructure-as-code craftsmanship.
