Michael Schams

I am a freelance Solutions Architect and IT Consultant mainly working with Amazon Web Services (AWS). On a daily basis, I design, plan, build, document, maintain, and manage highly available and secure workloads on the AWS cloud.

I work for clients worldwide to ensure that their cloud infrastructure is stable, secure, and performing at its best. This includes—but is not limited to—highly available web application hosting using scalable and serverless solutions.

As an advocate of open-source technologies, I am committed to sharing my knowledge and experience. I am the author of three books and a regular writer for technical journals and online media. I hold a master's degree in computer sciences and am AWS and TYPO3 certified.
