Jared Rhodes is a Principal Consultant at EPAM Systems and a Microsoft MVP with more than 15 years of experience in enterprise technology. He has led digital transformation work for Fortune 100 clients across insurance, retail, and life sciences, with a focus on cloud architecture, IoT, AI, and modern application platforms.
His current work spans Azure, AWS, and local private cloud infrastructure, with an emphasis on practical hybrid and edge architectures that connect devices, data, and applications. With a background in physics and a career that has included insurance systems, software engineering, and consulting across mobile, web, services, and cloud, Jared brings both technical depth and cross-domain range to modernization efforts.
His published work reflects a practical approach to architecture, particularly around reusable patterns such as event-driven edge inference and cloud feedback loops.
Some AI decisions need to happen where the data is created. The architecture has to account for devices, models, telemetry, and observation close to where the signal starts. In "AI on the Edge", Jared Rhodes moves from the symptom to a repeatable path for choosing, testing, shipping, and observing edge models, helping attendees see where better decisions start.
