Principal Pre-Sales Architect
Hi, I’m Duo (Neo).
I help organizations turn complex cloud, API, AI, and infrastructure problems into clear, buildable solutions.
What I do
A decade of building cloud, networks and the things on top.
I work at the seam where deep technical architecture meets the commercial reality of getting something delivered. Cloud platforms, API gateways, Kubernetes, AI integrations, regulated infrastructure — and the conversations with engineers, leaders, and procurement that decide whether any of it actually ships.
Currently a Principal Pre-Sales Architect for SaaS solutions; previously cloud and infrastructure architect for enterprise customers across AWS, Azure, and on-premise estates. Lately, a lot of my work sits at the intersection of those platforms and modern AI — figuring out what’s real, what’s safe, and what’s worth building.
