Summary
Lee Gilmore is an AWS Serverless Hero and principal cloud architect with 18+ years of experience building enterprise-grade serverless and event-driven architectures across retail, finance, and utilities. He leads AWS practice and community initiatives, has scaled certification programs from single digits to 70+, and owns the Serverless Patterns registry with 100+ open-source solutions that influence real-world designs. A proven hands-on leader, Lee has driven monolith-to-serverless migrations that cut infrastructure costs, created global EDA and identity platforms, and built distributed teams across the UK and US. He speaks internationally, organizes community conferences, and holds eight active AWS certifications, blending technical depth in EventBridge, Lambda, CDK and TypeScript with a focus on trust, vision and empathetic team-building. Less obvious: beyond architecture, he’s repeatedly turned platform strategy into repeatable “golden path” patterns and reference templates that accelerate adoption across large organisations.
