Summary
Rich Nason is a Sr. Solutions Architect at AWS with two decades of hands-on IT experience and a decade of focused cloud and enterprise roles, specializing in serverless, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure. He combines deep systems expertise—from Windows, macOS and multiple Linux distros to virtualization, Docker, and networking—with scripting and automation skills in Python, Bash and PowerShell to design scalable, operable solutions. His career blends vendor-side roles at AWS and client-facing leadership at PwC and 2nd Watch with hands-on engineering and CTO experience, enabling him to translate business needs into robust cloud architectures. A longtime technologist and teacher, he’s equally comfortable migrating legacy systems (CVS/SVN to Git) as he is authoring deployment-as-code with Jenkins, Ansible and cloud-native tooling. Based in Amsterdam, he brings a practical, security-minded approach to cloud adoption and a proven track record of helping organizations modernize at scale.
