Daksh Dua · Technical Account Manager (ex-AWS) · Telemetry & data · Calgary, Alberta

I turn engineering data into decisions for executives...

Former AWS Enterprise Technical Account Manager. Real-time data and telemetry person since I wrote my first sonar visualizer in 2018. Ready for a team where uptime and milliseconds both matter.

The lap so far

Seven sectors, one racing line: find the signal in the data, then get it to the people who have to act on it. Swipe or use the arrows.

    Computer science, business and live sensor data

    BSc in Computer Science and Business at Saint Mary's. At Jetasonic I built C++/Qt software that turns real-time sonar into 3D seafloor maps. First place at NASA Space Apps Halifax and at Dalhousie's neuro hackathon.

    Automotive and mobility: dealership sales at AutoCanada, then mobility solutions at Enterprise, where fleet data turns into pricing and utilization calls every day.

What I bring to your team

Three roles I'm going after, and the work that already proves I can do them.

Race & telemetry engineering

Real-time data, made readable

  • Built a C++/Qt pipeline that renders live sonar signals as interactive 3D maps for autonomous vessels
  • Won a neuro hackathon with a Python app that reads EEG theta waves and wakes a drowsy driver
  • Watched live dashboards in the AWS war room during a provincial election
  • Log my own car with OBD-II before and after every modification

Technical account management

The calm owner of critical accounts

  • $2.7M in new ACV and 94% retention across 10+ enterprise accounts at AWS
  • Escalation lead for business-critical incidents, with root-cause reviews for executives
  • Built an onboarding playbook that cut enterprise onboarding from 45 to 32 days
  • Outstanding Performance Award within my first 10 months

Data & AI solutions

From raw data to a decision someone can make

  • Python scraping and TensorFlow models as an ML research assistant at the Sobey School of Business
  • Matched a sports-analytics customer with a beta AWS data-sharing service, adding $100K in recurring revenue
  • Well-Architected and cost-optimization reviews that supported 21% year-over-year account growth
  • Pricing and utilization dashboards in Amazon QuickSight

Field notes from AWS

Election night, 2022

Provincial election infrastructure running on AWS, where downtime was not an option.

Joined the war room, set up monitoring and watched every metric until the polls closed. Stable from open to close.

Sports-analytics SaaS

The customer needed to share data with its own clients, and nothing off the shelf did it.

Found a beta AWS data-sharing service, brought in the product team and set up rollback and escalation paths. +$100K recurring revenue.

Food-delivery merger

Legal needed privacy compliance; engineering needed three more months for the migration.

Ran a RACI with legal, product and engineering, then a phased rollout: regulated data first. Finished three weeks early, zero compliance violations.

31400

There's a rock in the asteroid belt with my name on it.

Minor planet 31400 Dakshdua was discovered by MIT Lincoln Laboratory's LINEAR survey and named through its Ceres Connection program, which honours young scientists. The International Astronomical Union approved the name after Intel ISEF 2014. And 31400 is 3.14 × 10⁴. I've decided to take that personally.

Off the clock

The person you'd actually be working with.

My goal is simple: keep everyone around me happy and in abundance, and put in the work to make it happen.

Born in Delhi, raised on science fairs, educated in Halifax and sharpened at AWS. I think fast, I'm always buzzing with ideas, and I look for the bright side, which turns out to be useful on a 2 a.m. incident call.

I'm spiritual, I love big open farmland, and I'm happiest building things with my hands, from apps to businesses to a garage project that never quite ends.
