Amit Joshi

solution architect — aws × genai

I take GenAI from flashy demo to production reality — 10+ LLM systems shipped on AWS infrastructure that is HIPAA‑compliant, cost‑optimized, and built to scale.

Infrastructure that scales.
Intelligence that ships.

For ten years I've lived where two hard problems meet: cloud infrastructure that has to stay up, and AI systems that have to be real. As Solution Architect at Leapfrog Technology, I led the push that earned AWS Agentic AI, GenAI, and DevOps Competencies and APN Advanced Partner status, then backed it up by shipping more than ten LLM systems into production, most of them in regulated healthcare.

Before that: engineering manager, principal engineer, blockchain researcher, search engineer. I've built deployment platforms from scratch, scaled a compiler service to 150K concurrent users, and rebuilt decade-old systems without dropping traffic.

Outside work I write about AI-assisted development, ship apps I want to exist, and once built a watch with an LLM as co-creator. Curiosity is the through-line.

In their words.

He doesn't just build infrastructure — he understands the system, the product, and the customer. If I'm putting together a team to deliver something complex under real constraints, Amit is someone I want in the room.

Manu Chatterjee · VP & Head of AI, Leapfrog Technology

Quite simply one of the best DevOps people I've worked with. Any development team that had him on it already had an advantage. He was everyone's number-one draft choice.

Seward Pulitzer · VP Innovation & Operations, ex‑McKinsey

Without question one of the best AI Architects I have ever partnered with. His performance and cost engineering delivered a 50% reduction in operational costs and a 40% improvement in product performance.

Denise Willet · VP AWS Channel Operations

Thinking out loud.
