I've been involved in variety of AWS projects over the last 5 years spanning the gamut from designing, planning, implementing and then maintaining startup's AWS stack from the ground up to helping established SMB's modernize existing infrastructure through hybrid cloud implementations. I've worked through personal development projects starting with free tier instances to managing multiple complex production workloads across a dozen or more AWS services. Most of my recent work has been focused on the design and implementation of fault-tolerant highly-available WordPress and Magento AWS stacks running on top of Zend Server for shared hosting systems and dedicated enterprise hosting platforms.

Great talk with Bryan! He had the experience and knowledge to answer a lot of questions.

BJ was AWESOME. He was incredibly thorough, very kind and patient, and helped walk me through very specific lines of code. As a intermediate programmer / hacker, I really appreciated that BJ helped me understand some of the fundamentals that I had missed from hacking as well as receive help on a lot of intricate code issues. BJ is great if you want to not only solve your issues, but have someone patiently walk you through the solution so that you can figure it out on your own going forward (ie. great as a mentor). He is also a CTO of a web design company though, so if you're looking for total external support, I'm sure he'd be great too! Thanks, BJ!
