With over 20 years of delivering and architecting sociotechnical systems, Wesley Reisz has led the technical delivery of multi-million dollar software projects, chaired numerous software conferences across North America (and the United Kingdom), created a highly respected podcast, and spent over a decade teaching 400-level software architecture/programming courses as an adjunct professor. These experiences have given him deep expertise in software architecture, cloud-native engineering, team topologies, and platform thinking (alongside a broad knowledge of different software domains).

Wes is a Technical Principal at Thoughtworks, where he specializes in reducing complexity in software through systems thinking, application modernization, platform engineering, and AI-First Software Delivery. Embodying the concept of a T-shaped engineer (blending broad expertise across a wide range of software domains with deep technical knowledge of the cloud-native ecosystem), Wes strongly believes in the transformative power of sharing knowledge through speaking, teaching, and continuous learning.
