Darryl Ruggles

Principal Cloud Solutions Architect @ Ciena | AWS Community Builder

With a 25+ year career spanning C/C++ embedded systems, Java application development, ReactJS frontends, microservices, containers, serverless architectures, traditional AI/ML and MLOps, observability, DevOps, SRE, FinOps, and GenAI, I bring a broad perspective to every project.

I'm passionate about event-driven architecture, observability, and building solutions with serverless and managed services. I'm a continuous learner who enjoys exploring new tools and techniques.

Currently, I'm focused on organizing Agentic AI development across multiple vendors and models while right-sizing cloud environments through FinOps practices.
