About Kevin Jernigan

Kevin started his career on the first product management team at Oracle, with responsibilities for utilities, benchmarks, and Oracle Parallel Server. After Oracle, he built a consulting business focused on data warehousing and high end transactional systems, and then built a SaaS business providing booking capabilities to the health club industry. He returned to Oracle to manage a team delivering storage and performance features in Oracle Database, and then joined AWS to launch Aurora PostgreSQL, which he helped build into the fastest-growing service in the history of AWS. In early 2021, Kevin joined the Atlas Serverless product team, and is focusing on bringing the Serverless from preview to general availability, and on working with customers to ensure it exceeds customer expectations in all dimensions, including ease of use, performance, pricing, scalability, functionality, and integration with the broader serverless application landscape.

Gwyn is currently a Regional Cloud Advocate at Microsoft as well as a YouTube content creator. She started in tech at a help desk role, where she was first introduced to cloud computing and the learning hasn't stopped since then. Her favorite topics are .NET and Azure Functions, and she’s always down to try out new things. Gwyn is passionate about introducing others to the cloud; creating friendly and concise content; and her family. When she’s not doing Advocate things, you can find her playing video games, hanging out with her family, or eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.
