Tarik Makota hails from a small town in Bosnia. He is a principal solutions architect with AWS, a builder, a writer, and the self-proclaimed best fly fisherman at AWS. Never a perfect student, he managed to earn an MSc in software development and management from RIT. When he is not "doing the cloud" or writing, Tarik spends most of his time fly fishing to pursue slippery trout. He feeds his addiction by spending summers in Montana. Tarik lives in New Jersey with his family, Mersiha, Hana, and two exceptionally perfect dogs.
