Senior🎓
Top SchoolYan Cui is an independent consultant and AWS Serverless Hero with over a decade of hands-on experience helping organisations adopt serverless on AWS, from MVPs launched in weeks to enterprise-scale architecture and cost optimisation. He combines practical delivery—building systems, running MVPs and post-launch support—with training programs and a four-week bootcamp that have upskilled teams at companies like Booking and DAZN. A prolific public speaker, author and podcaster, Yan has spoken at 200+ conferences, written Production-Ready Serverless, and hosts the Real-World Serverless podcast, shaping how teams operate in production. He’s known for pragmatic, operational best practices: CI/CD, distributed tracing for Lambda, centralised logging, and automations that reduce cost and risk. Based in Amsterdam, he uniquely bridges CTO-level strategy and day-to-day engineering, often translating business goals into measurable technical outcomes. Colleagues praise his rare ability to speak both “business” and “dev” languages while accelerating team capability and delivery.
