Jeremy Daly Portfolio
Director of Research at CloudZero and AWS Serverless Hero, writing the "Off-by-none" newsletter on cloud architecture and serverless systems, with over two decades of production infrastructure experience behind the analysis.
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
A named newsletter with a stated multi-year run
"Off-by-none" gives the writing a consistent home and a track record readers can scroll back through, rather than scattering architecture takes across one-off posts.
Career transitions reflected honestly on the site
Documenting the move from independent serverless consultant to Director of Research at a cloud cost company shows a real, traceable career arc rather than a static "expert" label frozen in time.
Commentary that tracks where the industry is actually heading
Recent writing on "post-serverless" and AI-native infrastructure shows the author revising his own prior positions as the field changes, rather than defending one architecture style indefinitely.
What Cloud Architects can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
Give your recurring writing a real name and stick with it for years — a named, dated newsletter reads as more credible than an unlabeled blog.
Let your site show your actual career arc, including job changes — a visible trajectory is more convincing than a single frozen bio.
Be willing to publicly revise an earlier architectural opinion as the field moves — it signals judgment, not inconsistency.
