Stephen Oliver

As Principal Specialist for Media Entertainment Games and Sports (MEGS) at AWS, I look for innovative solutions that transform how the industry creates and delivers content. With extensive experience in working with the video game development and content production industries, I’ve guided a 15-person team that established AWS’s work around VFX, animation, and post-production workflows.

My passion for advancing the industry extends beyond technology—I partnered with the Tahitian government to develop a comprehensive video game education program, helping cultivate the next generation of creators. I have previously shared insights on game development and VFX workflows at premier industry events including GDC, Autodesk University, Cafe FX, and IGDA gatherings.

When I’m not exploring the latest in cloud-powered creative workflows, you’ll find me fishing, hiking, or gaming with my boys—always staying connected to the community and experiences that drive innovation in interactive entertainment
