About

I’m Andrew Smith and I’m an experienced software professional with an employment history spanning a variety of industries and including blue-chip organisations such as Ford Motor Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers and IQVIA.

I’m currently architecting and implementing an AWS-based IoT system, including network and security design, RDS database implementation and the provision of high availability and disaster recovery capabilities.

Whilst this website was initially written to document research I was doing throughout the Microsoft SQL Server product suite, it’s now oriented around how best to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver solutions to problems in enterprise computing.
