PATRICK GRYCZKA

Brooklyn, NY Contact.Me@Gryczka.net

Finding ways to help companies succeed with the cloud is my passion.

It’s an exciting time to be a Cloud Solution Architect, with so many
opportunities for companies to reduce costs, increase capabilities, and ensure
that their systems are both secure and resilient.

I’m a big proponent of Serverless! I believe it’ll shape a whole new generation
of applications. Ones that will be ready to scale to global proportions at the
drop of a hat, but also ones that will make use of markedly reduced operational
costs to make an increasing number of EdTech and Nonprofit efforts sustainable.

INTERESTS

I'm a lifelong Brooklynite and live with my wife, Paula, and her three cats
(some might say three cats is too many… let's just pretend they're wrong). When
I'm not petting our cats, I enjoy playing video games, and playing at video game
development.

Proud of and attached to my Polish heritage, I've been a part of the Polish
Scouting Organization since my youth, and still help local scout troops and
councils organize outings locally and abroad. I've also been a member of
Greenpoint’s Polish American Folk Dancing Company (PAFDC), helping keep a
tradition of both regal and funny outfits and dances alive. In my spare time I
enjoy biking, reading science fiction, and cooking unhealthy (and increasingly
spicy) snacks.
