AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
Amazon Web Services · 2024
I am Rahul Ladumor, a Principal Cloud & AI Platform Architect from Surat, India. I work with teams that already have real users, real AWS bills, and real production pressure.
A lot of my recent work is forward-deployed: sit close to the users and stakeholders, understand what is actually blocked, build the AWS or GenAI path, and stay with it until the production trade-offs are visible.
I have learned that production does not care how good the demo looked. Production asks different questions: what fails first, who gets paged, what rollback looks like, and what this will cost when traffic grows?

Current signal
Rahul is the AWS and GenAI production person: useful in public, calm in incidents, practical in architecture reviews, and useful when a team needs a forward-deployed engineer to turn ambiguity into shipped systems.
Led by the client. Where a role ran through a staffing firm, the firm is noted in parentheses.

Personal but professional note: I work best with teams that want clear technical judgment, direct trade-off language, and production changes that can be owned after I leave.
