About Miles Ward

Miles Ward is CTO for AI in Service Lines at Insight. Location: Seattle, Washington, United States.

TL; DR: CTO AI @ Insight, SADA, SA, N*, TWTR, OFA, NASA, xGOOG, xAWS, xVT, xRT, Bb, JS, SW, HMB, PEP, OMG, BBQ! I'm delivering the value of cloud computing to startups, agencies, ISV's, and enterprises so they can stop wasting time with infrastructure and start accelerating their businesses. I helped Twitter adopt Google Cloud, before it went weird. I helped Neustar, Digital Turbine, and a few thousand others do the same. I helped NASA live-stream the Mars Rover landing. I helped Obama For America win the 2012 presidential campaign. I'm helpful with cloud. Before I worked with clouds I helped design and build a system that allows Fortune 1000 companies engage in social media, to harness value from it, and affect change in it called Visible Technologies. Before that I got excited about prediction markets, built UI's for laser measurement tools, built an IT services business, hot-wired my sousaphone and lots and lots of other fun things. Specialties: Solution Architecture, Cloud Infrastructure, Machine Learning/AI, UI/UX Conceptualization, data visualization, internet data collection, and explaining the really nerdy stuff to the suits.
