Ian Schudel

I am a Cloud Data and Financial Analyst with expertise in AWS, a passion for cloud data analysis and security, and a background in technical intelligence data and reporting

I have had the privilege to work across multiple industries- both commercial and for the US Government in a variety of roles. These have ranged from working as a technical intelligence and data analyst/reporter, to having the opportunity to contribute to the AWS technical enterprise customer account team helping enable multi-million dollar AWS customers with a variety of AWS services and assisting with optimizing and right-sizing their AWS financial planning and resources. Throughout my career, whoever the customer may have been, one thing has stayed true. My passion for discovering, identifying, analyzing and beautifying data! Whether it was helping the Government identify key information that was missing, to helping some of the world's biggest companies and agencies ensure that they were improving their cloud resources as economically as possible, I love continuously learning and finding new ways to help make data useful and beautiful. I am passionate about data and cloud security, and love doing the research and detective work to help improve processes and create solutions to challenging and unique data business questions. Working with me means working with someone always on the lookout for innovative solutions to old problems.
