Hi, I’m Kevin Della Piazza, a FinTech-focused Cloud Architect and AI Engineer leader who loves turning big data into clear, actionable insight. I co-founded a fintech startup and built production-ready AI systems with cost-efficient, serverless pipelines that scale on a startup budget. I design end-to-end data architectures, ML pipelines and cloud-native solutions that balance performance and cost while staying secure and auditable. With hands-on experience across AWS, MLOps, Terraform, Docker, Python and SQL, I drive data strategy from governance to deployment. I’m passionate about building practical, scalable systems and sharing knowledge with teams to accelerate delivery.
