Patrick Gryczka

First US Developer Platform Solutions Architect. Technical advisor to enterprise and digital-native customers building AI applications — inference, agents, and RAG — on Workers and Workers AI, from discovery through production. Helping build Cloudflare’s developer- and AI-focused field engagement: creating the workshops, demos, and reference architectures our field teams use with customers, and onboarding and upskilling Solutions Architects and Engineers across the Americas and Europe.

Owned architecture and prescriptive guidance for AWS’s Sports Analytics customers — partnering with account teams to take the segment’s top customer from compete risk to an all-in, nine-figure, multi-year commitment. Guided sports data teams through early LLM adoption on Bedrock: RAG pipelines, natural-language query interfaces, and structured evaluation frameworks and datasets for comparing models, system prompts, and approach permutations. Co-founded the Sports Technical Field Community and formally mentored Solutions Architects across the Serverless and AI/ML communities.

Guided customers to success on AWS with cloud-native, serverless-first architectures. Wrote and delivered hands-on workshops at re:Invent, re:Inforce, and AWS Summits, and published reference architectures through the AWS Blog and ServerlessLand.

Supported the architecture, DevOps, and product-feedback needs of Microsoft’s strategic customers. Initiated and ran the “Azure Lounge” developer engagement and demo series in NYC, and delivered workshops and talks at Microsoft OpenHack events across the US, Canada, India, and Europe.

Developed and led a Big Data oriented team of cloud developers and data scientists. Worked directly with customers to identify opportunities for data collection and unification on the cloud, and to use that data for predictions and optimizations powered by machine learning.

Identified, pitched, and developed cloud-based solutions for e-commerce clients — from ETLs and enterprise data reporting to customer tracking streams and real-time and batch ML predictions powering on-site personalization and direct marketing.

NSF Fellow with the Chem-Bio Technology Lab (later the Science Outreach and Research Lab), researching education technology — mobile apps and online platforms for chemistry education in NYC high schools.
