Background

About Ioannis Kalyvas

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), I help organizations innovate and scale by designing secure, cost-effective, and high-performing cloud-native architectures. As a Cloud Architect with over 16 years of experience and 13x times certified in AWS, I specialize in Kubernetes, MLOps, and DevSecOps—advising customers on serverless, automation, and scalable design patterns to drive operational excellence and deliver standout user experiences. I bring deep expertise in Generative AI platforms, including Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, OpenSearch, and LangChain. I’ve designed and commercialized GenAI solutions for telcos and across multiple industry verticals—helping customers reimagine customer service, automate workflows, and create differentiated digital experiences. Previously, at Swisscom, I served as Principal DevOps Engineer, leading GitOps adoption for 5G Core CNFs. My work with FluxCD was showcased at events like KubeCon, and I continue to champion best practices in cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD, and policy-as-code. With a background spanning software engineering (Python, Go, Bash), CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD), Linux internals, and observability, I thrive at the intersection of innovation and execution—especially in complex, distributed systems and AI-driven workloads. I’m passionate about helping organizations stay ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape—turning bold ideas into scalable, secure, and customer-focused solutions.
