About

Leo Zhadanovsky, a Principal Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services, spends his days (and occasional nights!) helping customers best leverage AWS services in order to help them build highly-available, scalable and elastic architectures to fulfill their business needs. As a speaker, Leo has delivered talks at conferences around the world, including Re:Invent, OmniTI Surge, and PuppetConf. Previously the Director of Systems Engineering at the Democratic National Committee, he’s also run the DNC’s on-premise and cloud infrastructure, in use by the Obama campaign, state and local Democratic parties. This infrastructure was used to support hundreds of millions of dollars in online donations, and withstood significant amounts of election day traffic.

In his free time, he enjoys travelling the world, going for a bike ride, and trying out new restaurants in whatever city he finds himself in.
