Hi everyone, I'm a Co-Founder of Vantage: an alternative AWS console with a focus on developer experience and cost transparency.

Before Vantage I worked as a product manager at AWS on Container Services and a product manager at DigitalOcean for their compute product (Droplets).

Hi everyone, I'm the CTO at Leadent Digital - I lead a team of TypeScript developers creating products for companies that provide field service. All our products are deployed to AWS and we like to take a serverless-first approach. Looking forward to sharing what we've learned so far and learning stuff from the experts here.
