I am a staff cloud consultant at a 3rd party AWs company specializing in software development + cloud architecture. My day job consists of.

1. Working with sales to land clients

2. Doing management consulting style projects where I tell the client what they should do.

3. Designing the architecture from the infra side and code.

4. Leading implementations and on smaller projects doing the hands on keyboard work by myself and on larger projects, leading a team

I don’t use AI agents. What I will do is use ChatGPT as a junior developer where I tell it the context of the problem, diagrams, and I will build up the pieces with the abstractions, modules etc I want. While the architect of a building may not build everything themselves and they definitely won’t be building the cabinets, they should have a vision of how everything is built and guide how it works together.
