15+ years of building, leading, and shipping.

I'm Amer Grgić — currently a Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services. My career in tech spans more than 15 years, starting as a support engineer and evolving all the way to CTO before landing at AWS.

I write and talk about the things I care most about: business, technology, and leadership. I believe the best technologists understand all three — and that sharing what we learn makes the entire industry stronger.

I host Amer's Podcast, where I talk to industry leaders and innovative thinkers about how technology, leadership, and business intersect. Before that, I ran a podcast called Bits vs Bytes, which was the spiritual predecessor of my current show.

I enjoy public speaking and have presented at events like the AWS Summit Amsterdam, AWS User Group Netherlands Meetups, Developers.nl, and many more.

The posts on this website and what I discuss in the podcast are my own opinions and do not express the views of my employer.

What I do now

As a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, I help customers design and build cloud architectures that scale. Alongside my day job, I host Amer's Podcast — unscripted conversations with senior leaders about their paths, lessons, and what they'd tell their younger selves.

I also write about leadership, technology, and the human side of building products on this site. Based in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
