Cloud Solutions - Do Cloud Better.
We are a cloud solutions company. That might sound over-simplified, but it's cleaner than a long list of descriptors. And we like to keep things simple. So let's start with a question: What would the perfect cloud solution look like for your company? We answer that question with a collaborative explosion of technical know-how, development skills, and operational experience to bring you innovative solutions that deliver value.
But what makes these solutions valuable?
Optimizing your cloud services:
- Lowers operational costs by providing visibility into where you are spending.
- Frees up your best developers by automating processes.
- Allows you to spend more time focusing on your core business.
Our Minds are in the Cloud.
The Observian team is comprised of thought leaders and technical gurus who share a common vision that cloud computing is changing the world and that Amazon and Microsoft are leading that charge. With new technologies being developed every day to compliment AWS and Azure, someone needs to keep their fingers on the pulse. With our minds in the cloud, and with certifications to back up our collective experience, our team is providing customers with the most useful cloud solutions, services, and architecture. We can help you too.

Justin Donohoo
VP Engineering
I was born with a keyboard in my hand. I've been coding for 20+ years. I grew up in the start-up scene having multiple successful exits. I'm passionate about helping businesses transform their Dev Culture, which sets them up to do Engineering at scale. When I'm not in the cloud / coding space, you will find me gaming or mining crypto. If you are one of my kids you can twist my arm to get me outside and even maybe possibly playing sportsball.AWS Certifications

They call me Griswold. I'm a young guy with an old man's soul. Frank Sinatra? Yes Please! I have a background in cloud security & compliance, particularly in enterprise financial services and healthcare industries. I’m passionate about automation, security, architecture, and infrastructure as code. I love decoupling complex ideas to help companies see the big picture. You'll find me golfing or hiking during the summer and snowboarding or skiing during the winter. I'm a total aviation nerd and spend more time than I'll admit playing flight simulators or flying. I have one goldendoodle fur child named Jackson with another on the way.Mark Laub

Ever curious techno geek who strongly believes that its all about asking the right questions. I come from a background in change control process in those nasty huge data centers and I think no one has the right to enjoy cloud more than the change control guys. I am all about cloud orchestration/automation heading serverless way. Cricket is my religion and cooking is my way of meditation.AWS Certifications

I eat, sleep, and breathe code. I have an approximate knowledge of many things. I love tinkering with code, building things from scratch and making things more useful. I enjoy home automation and making my home smarter, where the end goal is to recreate HAL 9000 without the killer instinct.Chad Gardner
Director of Operations
I am a software executive with over 25 years of building enterprise software companies. I have created strategic partnerships, managed operations and finance, and built and managed sales organizations. When I am not working, you will find me with my wife, children or grandchildren, on a golf course or working with youth to create the next generation of good people.What we've set out to do
