Open source I maintain, and where it gets used

What I publish, what I contribute to, and the AWS services behind it. Every project below feeds the workshops and reviews: the patterns are tested here before they reach a customer.

Remotion stream visuals and a web player for AWS Community GameDay Europe, a competitive cloud event across more than 50 AWS User Groups in 20+ countries. A template repository plus an event repository that deploys on every push[5][6].

4

Once Upon Agentic AI, walkthrough and dashboardPublic fork

A fork of the AWS sample workshop with a dashboard for chapter 5, and a full walkthrough of all chapters with notes on current SDK versions[7][8].

Freelancer AutomationPublic site

Workflow recipes and AI playbooks for independent consultants[14].

Project in development

An AI video pipeline on AWS

A config-driven pipeline that turns raw event footage into finished cuts for several channels, built on AWS AI and media services with an agent crew for editorial decisions. I presented it at AWS Community Day Athens 2026 and describe it in my blog[10]. It will be published as open source; today it is available in customer projects, set up for each media workflow.

Five-step AI media pattern: ingest, analyse, decide, render, publish.
The five-step pattern behind it: ingest, analyse, decide, render, publish. Swap the services and the same shape fits podcasts, photo libraries, documents or logs.Source: Linda Mohamed, AI video pipeline architecture, 2026
Workshops I deliver

Walkthroughs of public labs

I run public AWS and Red Hat labs end to end before I deliver them, and document where the steps have changed.

AWS in my own work

The AWS services I build with.

Grouped by what I build with them. For each service: what it does in plain language, with a link to the AWS documentation, and what I use it for in my projects. For the AI services there is a page on the technology itself and the other ways to run it, on Azure, Google Cloud or your own machines: AI technologies explained →

Media and video pipelines

Turning raw video and audio into searchable, structured content and channel-ready files.

How I built an AI film crew on AWS →

What it isSpeech to text with word timings, speaker labels and custom vocabularies.

How I use itSpeech to text with custom vocabularies.

What it isDetects objects, scenes, text and faces in images and video.

How I use itLabel and scene detection in video.

What it isExtracts structured output from documents, images, audio and video with one managed call.

How I use itStructured output from media.

What it isFile-based video transcoding into the formats and aspect ratios each channel needs.

How I use itTranscoding into channel formats.

What it isWorkflow engine that runs steps in order or in parallel, with retries and waits, and shows every run.

How I use itOrchestrating parallel analysis workflows.

Models and agents

Foundation models for analysis and briefs, and agent crews that act on their own.

AI agent systems →

What it isManaged access to foundation models from several providers through one API. You choose the model and write the prompt; AWS runs the model.

How I use itFoundation models for briefs, analysis and agents.

What it isRuntime, memory, identity and tool gateway for AI agents built with any framework, such as Strands or CrewAI.

How I use itRunning agent crews with memory.

The serverless backbone

What holds every pipeline together: storage, small functions, state, queues and monitoring.

AI use cases on AWS →

What it isObject storage for raw files, documents, training data and results.

How I use itRaw media, documents, model weights and pipeline state.

What it isRuns small pieces of code on demand without servers to manage. You pay per request and duration.

How I use itPipeline steps and small services.

What it isServerless key-value database for state, sessions and job records.

How I use itPipeline and job state.

What it isEvent routing and scheduling (EventBridge) and message queues that buffer work between steps (SQS).

How I use itScheduling and queues between pipeline steps.

What it isRuns containers without managing servers or clusters.

How I use itRunning containers.

What it isLogs, metrics and alarms. For AI systems: latency, errors and cost per call.

How I use itLogs, metrics and alarms.

Platforms and accounts

The ground teams build on: accounts with guardrails, a developer portal and managed OpenShift.

Cloud architecture and modernization →

What it isGroups AWS accounts, applies guardrail policies and consolidates billing.

How I use itAccount vending for the developer portal.

What it isOne sign-in for people across many AWS accounts and applications.

How I use itSign-in for account vending and the developer portal.

What it isRuns a container web app from an image with scaling and HTTPS handled by AWS.

How I use itHosting the Backstage developer portal.

What it isManaged OpenShift clusters in your AWS account. The base for running OpenShift AI next to other AWS services.

How I use itThe OpenShift AI on AWS lab.
