Cloud services provider Mphasis has appointed Paul Duvall as its new Chief AWS Evangelist.
Duvall is a founder of Mphasis Stelligent; a company focused exclusively on DevOps automation on AWS since 2009. Mphasis acquired Stelligent in late 2018 and Duvall took on the role of Chief Technology Officer for the newly formed Mphasis Stelligent business unit.
In his new role, Duvall will be responsible for sharing his team’s considerable cloud and AWS expertise across the broader Mphasis organisation based on the work that Mphasis Stelligent has done with its customers. In addition to working closely with the different development groups at Mphasis, Duvall will also share his expertise and experience via blogs, industry articles, training videos, speaking at industry events, and other available mediums. He’ll continue to advise the Mphasis leadership team on emerging technologies.
Duvall and Stelligent have a long-standing relationship with AWS. Stelligent is an AWS Partner Network (APN) Premier Consulting Partner, recognising the top APN Consulting Partners for their significant investment in their AWS practice. It has attained the AWS Security Competency and the AWS Financial Services Competency and was one of the first service providers in achieving AWS DevOps Competency status back in 2015. It was also one of the first APN Consulting Partners to participate in the AWS Service Delivery Program. Today, Mphasis Stelligent has over 100 AWS certifications with half of its engineers holding AWS professional certifications.
Duvall is 6X AWS certified including AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional and AWS Certified Security – Specialty, and he has architected, implemented, and managed software and systems solutions for over 20 years. In 2016 he was honoured as an AWS Hero, recognising a very select group for their significant knowledge-sharing contributions to the AWS community. He has authored multiple books and publications on DevOps and Continuous Integration, including the award-winning Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk (Addison-Wesley) and DevOps Essentials on AWS LiveLessons (Addison-Wesley). He also blogs at stelligent.com, and hosts the DevOps on AWS Radio podcast.
Duvall said that by educating customers on best practices and industry knowledge, we make them more self-sufficient, and more successful as a result.
“My new role at Mphasis expands on that same principle, amplifying and magnifying our expertise across the broader Mphasis organisation. As a result, we’ll be able to help a much larger segment of customers accelerate their cloud-based development and digital transformation efforts.”
