Senior Solutions Architect · Amazon · Jersey City
I help the world's biggest streaming and sports brands build great experiences — and I build AI tools that make that work scale.
Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon working with partners like TikTok, NBA, NFL, MLB, and Brazil's largest streamers across Fire TV and automotive platforms. Builder of AI-powered developer tooling, published technical author, and workshop instructor.
About
I'm a Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon, where I act as the primary technical liaison between Fire TV / automotive platforms and 20+ strategic partners — including TikTok, AMC+, FuboTV, the NBA, NFL, MLB, WNBA, NHL, and leading LATAM streamers like Globoplay and ViX. My work spans unblocking complex integrations, influencing product roadmaps on partners' behalf, and scaling technical knowledge across an ecosystem through documentation, reference tooling, and presentations.
Over the past year, I've gone deep on applied AI. I designed and built an AI-Powered Partner Management Framework on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that connects six-plus enterprise tools and saves each Solutions Architect on my team an estimated 5–8 hours a week — then drove adoption with a hands-on workshop, a contribution workflow, and weekly office hours. I've published guides teaching external partners to use LLMs to cut integration timelines from days to hours, and a three-part app performance series for the Amazon developer community.
Before this role, I spent four years at AWS Professional Services leading $12M+ in cloud engagements for U.S. national security customers. Outside work, I ship side projects — most recently an AI-powered photography learning app built on Claude's vision API.
