Sam Tripp
Lead Cloud Engineer, Made Tech
Sam Tripp is a Lead Cloud Engineer at Made Tech, where he helps public sector teams build cloud services that are secure, maintainable and production-ready. With 15+ years in the industry his focus is cloud architecture and the practical uses of generative AI, favouring the applications that survive contact with real users rather than the demo.
Building AI for the public sector requires agility, scale, and multi-cloud flexibility. In this lightning talk, Made Tech shares our AI evolution pairing internal R&D experiments with real-world client deployments. We’ll examine how serverless tooling across AWS, Azure, and GCP enabled us to pivot quickly and scale securely, highlighting key live public sector deployments. Rather than a deep dive into a single tool, this is a frank look at our architectural arc; what surprised us about running AI in serverless environments, what changed our minds, and what we’d build differently today.
