About Oliver
I am an independent AWS Solutions Architect specializing in the design, deployment, and optimization of ultra-low latency media infrastructure, serverless compute pipelines, and scalable post-production workflows. With over a decade of experience bridging enterprise cloud architecture and tier-one global broadcasting, I partner with major OTT platforms, sports technology firms, and esports organizations to transition legacy linear media and editorial operations into highly elastic, cost-optimized cloud environments.
Operating on an outcome-based consultancy model, I deliver end-to-end technical authority—from infrastructural audits to proof-of-concept design and vendor oversight—ensuring robust, scalable architecture that meets the rigorous demands of global live events and distributed post-production teams.
