About
Rob Koch
I’m an AWS Data Hero and cloud/data technology consultant at Slalom in Seattle, working across AWS architecture, data platforms, and Kubernetes. I was named to the Redgate 100 in 2022, and I’m the author of Manning’s Python and Kafka liveProject.
I speak at conferences, corporate events, and professional summits on AI-assisted work, data platforms, and accessibility in tech — including a keynote at KubeCon Europe 2025. I also co-chair the CNCF Deaf and Hard of Hearing Working Group, working to make cloud-native tech more accessible.
