Hello, I'm Shardul Vaidya

01. About Me

Partner Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services, building the future of Developer Experience with Generative AI.

Based in Atlanta, I work with AWS partners and customers to transform how developers build software using GenAI. My focus is on building prototypes, validating solutions, and launching tools that actually improve developer workflows.

My work spans from underwater visual light communication research at Georgia State to building EKS validation tooling, contributing to Zed, and launching developer-focused GenAI solutions. I've evaluated 100+ AWS Partner solutions, co-hosted HowdyPartner, and contributed to AWS open source. Whether it's cloud-native architecture or mentoring engineers, I'm focused on building things that matter.

Focus Areas:

  • Developer Experience & GenAI
  • Partner Solutions & Prototyping
  • EKS Tooling & Validation
  • Cloud-Native Architecture
  • Teaching & Mentorship
  • Open Source Contributions
// Building GenAI tools for devs
const improveDevEx = async () => {
  return partners
    .map(p => prototype(p))
    .filter(validated)
    .forEach(launch);
};

// Always shipping
improveDevEx();
