About Me

👋 Hi, I’m Stephen Jones – but online you’ll find me sharing thoughts and experiments under the handle sjramblings.

I’m a Principal Solutions Architect at Versent with a deep passion for *loud, automation, and making technology approachable. My work spans building on AWS at scale, crafting resilient architectures, and helping teams adopt modern engineering practices without losing sight of simplicity and pragmatism.

🌩️ What I Do

  • AWS & Cloud Architecture – Designing multi-account landing zones, secure VPC architectures, and serverless-first applications.
  • Automation & DevOps – From Ansible to Terraform, from CI/CD pipelines to cloud-native workflows, I thrive in making the repetitive elegant.
  • AI & Emerging Tech – Experimenting with Amazon Bedrock, AI agents, and the wild frontier of automation at the edge of cloud and intelligence.
  • Community Engagement – Active AWS Community Builder, speaker at AWS events, and mentor for those navigating their cloud journey.

🎤 Talks & Writing

I regularly share insights through:

  • Speaking engagements – AWS Symposiums, meetups, and internal tech forums.
  • Writing – Articles and blog posts here on sjramblings.io covering AWS fundamentals, cost optimization, automation, and the occasional thought piece on tech culture.
  • Content creation – Experimenting with LinkedIn posts, TikTok explainers, and even video demos to make learning AWS fun and engaging.

🎯 What You’ll Find Here

This site is where I put down my ramblings, experiments, and lessons learned from working in cloud and beyond. Expect:

  • Deep dives into AWS services, best practices, and patterns.
  • How-to guides for automation and DevOps workflows.
  • Opinion pieces on where cloud, AI, and engineering culture are heading.
  • The occasional quirky project (because tech should be fun too).

⚡ Beyond the Cloud

When I’m not wiring up cloud infrastructure:

  • I tinker with home DIY projects.
  • Stay active in the fitness community (mental health matters as much as uptime).
  • And yes, I’ve earned the coveted AWS golden jacket by completing all the AWS certifications.

📬 Connect

I love connecting with people who are passionate about tech, curious about cloud, or just want to swap notes on how to build things better.

Thanks for stopping by – and remember, the cloud is only as complicated as we make it. Let’s keep building simple, powerful solutions together.
