Welcome to my blog, where I share my writings as well as my weekly newsletter where I cover all things AWS and open source related. The majority of this blog will be technical, hands on with the occasional leadership piece.
I am always looking for great open source projects to feature and dive deep into, so if you are workingon something you are really excited about, please get in touch and I would love to feature that work within the newsletter or as a dedicated blog post.

November 27th, 2023 - Instalment #181 Welcome to #181 of the AWS open source newsletter, the place for all your AWS and open source needs. As some of you will know, this is re:Invent week, where many of my colleagues and tens of thousands of developers will be congregating to learn about Cloud, and hopefully discover plenty of open source goodness too. If you are going, make sure to visit the open source booth in the Expo floor.

Adding Amazon Bedrock Llama2 as an assistant in Ragna
Nov 16, 2023 | 4 minute read
Adding a new assistant in Ragna Following up from my previous post on Ragna, I wanted to share following the announcement of Meta’s Llama2 13b model availability within Amazon Bedrock, how you can incorporate that. I have also put together a GitHub repo that shares the code, something that I got quite a few questions from the original post. Adding Meta’s Llama2 As with adding Amazon Bedrock’s Anthropic’s Claude support, it was pretty straight forward to modify the original code to add support for Llama2.
