Ebrahim (EB) Khiyami is a cloud technologist and architect with 15+ years of experience transforming businesses through innovative cloud solutions. He specializes in helping startups and enterprises build scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud workloads while driving digital transformation initiatives.

As a Cloud Optimization Solutions Architect at AWS, EB focuses on enterprise-scale cloud migrations, optimization strategies, and generative AI implementations.

As a Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I support the Cloud Optimization team, which owns AWS best practices, the Well-Architected framework, and optimization tools. Working as part of a global team, I ensure customers maximize their AWS investment across three key domains: Cloud Migration & Transformation, Cloud Optimization, and Generative AI.

My technology journey began in 2000 when I enrolled in the School of Computer Engineering. During my studies, I gained practical experience through freelance work—fixing computers and printers, and later teaching IT courses. This combination of academic learning and hands-on problem-solving built both my technical skills and confidence in the field.

After graduation, my first full-time position was as a Network and System Administrator, which launched a diverse career spanning multiple roles and industries. Over the years, I've evolved through various positions: technician, developer, support engineer, architect, project manager, and entrepreneur, each role adding depth to my technical expertise and leadership capabilities.

Beyond my professional life, I'm a dedicated father of three boys, an active mentor in the technology community, and enjoy creative pursuits as a hobbyist. This balance between technical excellence and personal fulfillment drives my approach to both work and life.
