About Me

Hi, I'm Rob Percival.

For work, I've spent most of my career at AWS - first building and operating services internally and later working with customers to build externally as a Solutions Architect and Account Manager.

In my current role as an Account Manager in the AWS Games sales organization I work with operators, game developers, and software providers in the Americas Betting & Gaming industry to increase speed to market, gain deeper insight on their players, and accelerate experimentation and innovation using AWS.

Prior to AWS, I majored in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Washington where I was part of a collaboration searching to prove the existence of cold dark matter axions.

Outside of work I'm an avid cook and baker, and I try to take at least one good photo in the places I travel!
