Summary
Svetlozar Kondakov is a Principal Cloud Architect with 22 years in technology and deep enterprise AWS expertise, holding all 14 AWS certifications without a single failure. He specializes in high-stakes migrations, multi-account landing zone redesigns, and Well-Architected reviews where long-lived trade-offs matter more than checklist compliance. His work has delivered measurable outcomes—25–35% run-rate savings, multi-AZ recovery in single-digit minutes, and architectures that continue to scale years after delivery. Notable engagements include solving a sub-500ms SLA for a bursty enterprise API at massive scale and automating onboarding for 300+ on-premise sites into a resilient AWS topology. A former CTO and founder, he combines senior-operator instincts with hands-on platform engineering and an MBA and BSc with distinction. Based in Sofia, he advises clients across Europe, the US and MENA, often at the point where technical decisions directly constrain business velocity.
