I meet here a lot of people from different cultures, countries, backgrounds. But what unites us is the passion to AWS, tech. And we always can find a common language!</p> <h2> What’s your background and your experience with AWS? </h2> <p>I started my exiting AWS journey last April, first I got hands-on with Lambda, S3, SageMaker (since I am a Data Scientist). Then when I was preparing to Machine Learning certification, I discovered services like Athena, Glue, Kinesis, etc. Thanks to the program, I got Data Analytics certified. Now I am building the project based on Lex, Polly, Lambda, S3.<br> And this is a non-stop learning, very fascinating!</p> <h2> What’s the biggest benefit you see from the program? </h2> <p>I would say that these are the possibilities that the program provides. The program's benefits and content are made wisely, so you have a cool infrastructure to grow technically. With credits you can build whatever you want, with sessions and cloud academy courses you have resources to learn, if you are stuck, you have a community of people willing to help. Finally, you can share your knowledge with other people!</p> <h2> What’s the next swag item that you would like to get? </h2> <p>A backpack or a T-shirt.</p> <h2> What are you eating for dinner today? Share the recipe! </h2> <p>My dinner is stupid simple: I just blender an apple, a banana, a tangerine, a carrot and some parsley (or spinach) into a smoothie.</p> <h2> Is there anything else you would like to say about the community builders program in 2022? </h2> <p>It's hard to express in words how happy I am to be a part of this awesome program! Thanks a lot! I am really looking forward to the next year!</p> emptystring
