About Rick Crelia

My current focus at BILL is on designing and optimizing scalable AWS cloud infrastructure, leveraging over a decade of experience in public cloud engineering and architecture. I have helped teams drive innovative solutions in cloud-native development, with significant emphasis on automation through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, GitLab CI/CD, and serverless development practices. Expertise in AI-powered platforms such as Amazon Q Developer and Bedrock allows me to boost the delivery of cutting-edge automation solutions for cloud IaC lifecycle needs and eliminating technical debt. Previous roles included significant delivery of the design & development of a new PaaS offering at Sierra-Cedar and providing public cloud platform consultation across the enterprise at Nordstrom. Committed to collaborative problem-solving, performance tuning, and capacity planning, with a mission to enable efficient and seamless cloud adoption. Dedicated to fostering agile practices and empowering teams with DevOps-focused training and tools.
