Chuck Meyer is a Sr. Developer Advocate for AWS CloudFormation. He focuses on maturing infrastructure as code practices to reduce the time developers spend deploying infrastructure so they can spend more of it on their applications. To this end he co-maintains the CloudFormation Linter (cfn-python-lint). Previously, Chuck worked directly with AWS customers on DevOps, infrastructure automation, and security as both a Consultant and SA. He has served in operational, development, and management positions in IT departments across the public and private sectors. He wishes he had more time to play bass.
