About

Hi, I’m Igor, a Solutions Architect at AWS with a passion for helping startups scale through resilient, cost-effective cloud solutions. I love turning complex tech challenges into simple, actionable strategies that drive growth.

What I Do

I work with early-stage startups at AWS, designing cloud architectures that handle traffic spikes, cut costs, and stay up under pressure. My focus includes:

• Cloud Architecture: Building scalable, antifragile systems on AWS.
• Startup Consulting: Guiding founders to make smart tech decisions.
• Resiliency: Ensuring apps survive failures and scale seamlessly.
• Cost Optimization: Maximizing value without breaking the bank.

My Background

With over a decade in software engineering and cloud architecture, I’ve built both the cloud—working on Amazon’s high-scale infrastructure—and in the cloud, creating solutions for startups and global enterprises. My experience spans retail systems, AWS backend services, migrating systems to AWS, modernizing legacy software,and working in a startup, giving me a unique lens on startup challenges.
