An AWS Community Builders holiday story

#cbchristmas2022

A holiday story of AWS Community Builders, this is the Aritra Nag's edition, check out the other posts from my fellow AWS Community Builders on why they love the program and learn more about them too!

What surprises you most about the community builders program?

It's one of most erudite community i have ever come across. Everyone is enthusiastic about contributing their knowledge and helping each other . There are builders from different backgrounds, knowledge levels and roles, and everyone is willing to share their knowledge and help each other at their best.

What’s your background and your experience with AWS?

I am a full stack developer having an experience of 12 years in IT consulting working with customers ranging from Automotive industry to Retail Management. I have mostly helping customer develop cloud native applications and implement their infrastructure using IAAC tools like terraform and AWS CDK

What’s the biggest benefit you see from the program?

Networking and Knowledge Sharing is one of the big benefit for the program.I have got builders from around the world and had meaningful conversations because of this program. This program encourages also to contribute more towards the community by creating more content and presenting them onto the world.

What’s the next swag item that you would like to get?

AWS Community Builder sneakers 😉

What are you eating for dinner today? Share the recipe!

As an Indian , rice is one of the favourite dishes I love to have. My preference is a Biriyani that can prepare easily similar to this: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/72483/biriyani/

Is there anything else you would like to say about the community builders program in 2022?

This program has been instrumental for my technical upskilling in the AWS realm. It has given me the confidence to speak on stage representing my organisation and speaking about AWS solutions and products.

Thanks a lot Jason Dunn - the AWS CB Program Manager and all of the management team who are dedicated to make this community better and better every day!

Looking forward to an AWSome 2023 ahead.
