Simon Davies
Senior Cloud Architect I
30 years of tech. Still building what's next.
About Me
Senior Cloud Architect and Gen AI Consultant working predominantly with AWS.
With 30 years in the software industry, I bridge the gap between stakeholders, business, and technical teams — translating ideas into architecture.
What I Do
🤖 Gen AI & Foundation Models — Architecting solutions that leverage the expanding world of LLMs and generative AI
☁️ Cloud-Native Architecture — Helping organisations move to cloud and modernise how they work with data
🔗 Stakeholder Translation — Turning business needs into technical reality (and back again)
My Focus
I help organisations adopt Gen AI, explore foundation models, and put their data to work in new ways. If it involves AWS and AI, I'm in my element.
