Wayne is a Principal Cloud Architect with over a decade of engineering and infrastructure experience. His career has spanned hands-on platform engineering to leading cloud architecture strategy, but his real interest has always been making systems and the people building them move faster.

These days, Wayne applies that focus at Shutterstock, where he leads cloud architecture on AWS, balancing developer velocity with security and cost discipline.

Outside of work, Wayne is a devoted Yankees and Knicks fan, an enthusiastic home cook, and dad.
