Top SchoolSteven Hirschorn is a Technical Architect with over two decades in IT and more than a decade focusing on AWS cloud architecture, infrastructure as code, and secure, cost-effective platform engineering. He is an Amazon Certified Solutions Architect who has designed and implemented IaC pipelines using Terraform, Packer, Jenkins, PowerShell and Lambda to build and refresh server platforms and autoscaling groups. At The National Archives he engineered large-scale data processing workflows that converted millions of PDFs into hundreds of millions of JPGs using EC2 Spot Instances and S3, balancing throughput with dramatic cost savings. His deep, low-level knowledge of TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP and PKI, combined with hands-on troubleshooting using tools like Wireshark, informs robust, defence-in-depth designs. Based in London, he blends long institutional experience with modern cloud practices to deliver reliable, auditable systems. A practical innovator, he often couples automation and ephemeral compute patterns to squeeze inefficiencies out of legacy workloads.
