To my mother and father, for their sacrifices and for exemplifying the value of diligence. To Jennifer for being my loving partner and encouragement, and to Jeremy and Ezra our stars.

Peter Chung

Peter Chung enjoys seeing companies leverage new technologies such as the cloud to experience digital transformation. Before his current role as a Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), Peter helped customers save on their AWS bill as a Customer Optimization Specialist. Prior to AWS, Peter worked in numerous New York City agencies to help the city tackle complex challenges such as hurricane recovery efforts, responding to street homeless populations, and improving shelter conditions. He holds all AWS certifications, two Google Cloud certifications, and is, of course, FinOps certified.

With more than 20 years of working in technology, Felipe Campos, also known as KiKo, started his career as a developer and then migrated into the cloud infrastructure area. When he began working in the FinOps area, he finally managed to bring together all of his passions, such as development, cloud architecture, and evangelization in tech. Always very curious, Felipe participates in several communities, contributing his knowledge in articles, lectures, events, and even long chats with friends!

Surely my journey alone would have ended at the first steps, had it not been for the support Ive received from the people Ive known in the tech community, and of course, my beautiful family and friends who have been extremely important in defining who I am.
