👋🏽 Talofa!

I'm Ali'imuamua Ron Amosa — The Uncommon Engineer.

I'm a Pasifika technologist of Samoan, Tuvaluan, and Chinese heritage. For more than two decades I've worked across SRE, cyber security, and solution architecture. Today I'm a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, focused on AI, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud security — the full stack from infrastructure and code, through risk, governance, and business outcomes.

This site is my working lab book.

It's where I document experiments, random projects, lab builds, hacking walk-throughs, hard-won technical lessons, things I'm still figuring out, and thoughts on the tech industry, which is usually part of my newsletter.

Outside of work, I'm a husband and father, a BJJ black belt, drummer, and a tattoo and motorcycle enthusiast.
