William Koplitz

Solutions architect — cloud infrastructure & agentic AI systems

McLean, Virginia · Washington, DC area

I'm a solutions architect who codes — twenty-five years of building on, migrating to, and automating the big clouds. I've worked the vendor side twice at AWS (Graviton specialist, then greenfield ISVs) and once at Google (partner engineering), and spent six years before that running my own cloud consultancy.

These days I'm founder and technical lead at Agentic Ensemble, building Taeoe — a multi-tenant platform for orchestrating agentic AI systems: plan graphs, persona routing, and provider-agnostic model access on AWS Bedrock.

I like to do interesting stuff with fun and smart people.

Talks

“Overcoming migration hurdles with CircleCI and AWS Graviton” (PRT224) — the capstone of my year as AWS's Graviton specialist for ISVs. A partner session with CircleCI and Honeycomb on the real-world obstacles of moving production workloads to ARM, and the CI/CD automation that clears them; William Koplitz presents the Graviton side. 33 min · watch on YouTube · companion code: circleci-multiarch-demo, circleci-ecr-basic

“Graviton Workloads” — The Keys to AWS Optimization, S5 E8 — AWS's Twitch optimization show, 2022: finding the workloads worth migrating first, mostly RDS and EKS.
“Datadog's Graviton journey” — AWS on Twitch, November 2022 — the VOD expired with Twitch's retention window, but Datadog's announcement survives.

A handful of other AWS Twitch appearances from the Graviton year expired with the platform's retention window; this list grows as receipts resurface.

Writing & elsewhere

I write at billykoplitz.com — engineering sometimes, and the rest of a life: Zen practice, slacklines, being probably wrong. Code lives under the alias bil9000 on GitHub and GitLab.

Working languages: English and Portuguese, professionally; Spanish and some French, gamely.
