Puria Izady

I'm Puria Izady former AWS Solutions Architect, co-founder of cocoduro the Agentic AI for groceries, and the guy behind Pumping Code helping engineers & architects worldwide to become leaders in AI. Over 8,000 students from 110+ countries have learned about Generative AI & AWS Cloud through Pumping Code.

I've spent my career inside the machine: modernizing core banking systems at ING, then advising software vendors across the EMEA region at AWS as one of its go-to experts on Generative AI and ML. In early 2026 I left to build full-time. Today as a Co-Founder of cocoduro, I'm shipping AI agents into real production grocery ordering with Germany's biggest retailers which means what I teach has already survived contact with a live system, not just a demo notebook.

But that's only half of it. By night and very early mornings I'm on a mission to prove you can be a leader in AI and Cloud. From running my own online gaming server as a teenager to shipping agentic systems today, I've learned the principles of growth apply equally to coding, cloud architecture, and bodybuilding: show up, add load, stay consistent.

If you're here to actually build something, you're in the right place. Join me and let's build the future!
