Becoming AWSome featuring Craig Halsey, DoD Mission Partner at AWS

🎙️ Welcome Back, AWS Community! In this episode of Becoming AWSome, Jenna and I (Ray Thomas), had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Craig Halsey, a DoD Mission Partner at AWS. The energy was high from the jump—Jenna and I kicked things off by catching up on how busy we’ve been lately (and I might’ve snuck in a little Green Day concert the night before 🎶). Craig joined the fun, sharing that he recently saw Zach Bryan live—seriously, those tickets are hard to get! We all agreed how important it is to take time to recharge outside of work. Then, we dove into Craig’s journey from the military to AWS, where he’s now helping the DoD with some seriously mission-critical work. His passion for what he does is infectious, and hearing how AWS is playing a key role in transforming defense operations with cloud tech was inspiring. 🌍💼🚀

Craig broke down how AWS is partnering with the DoD to make things more efficient and secure, using the power of the cloud. But what really struck me was how deeply Craig understands the challenges the DoD faces and how AWS is stepping up to provide solutions that truly matter. It’s not just about technology—it’s about supporting the mission and the people behind it. Jenna and I were totally inspired by his story, and I think you’ll be, too. Big shoutout to Craig for bringing such a real and powerful perspective to the show! Hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we did. 🎯🔥 #BecomingAWSome #MissionFocused #DoD
