🚀 From Community to Impact: My Journey as a Cloud Club Captain & AWS Community Builder

My journey in the AWS ecosystem started as a member of the AWS UG Bogotá, where I discovered the real power of tech communities.

That experience led me to become the Captain of the AWS Cloud Club at EAN University, where I’ve been focused on building opportunities for students through cloud computing, collaboration, and real-world exposure.

Recently, we had the opportunity to participate in Santux 2026 at Universidad Santo Tomás - Seccional Tunja, where we reached:

💥 +400 in-person students

During this session, we explored how communities are transforming the relationship between academia and industry, and how AWS enables students to accelerate their careers.

But beyond the talk, what truly matters is the impact:

🤝 We supported Manuel Galindo, a passionate student, to start his own AWS Cloud Club in his university — expanding the ecosystem and empowering more students.

This is what being an AWS Community Builder means to me:

Not just learning cloud
But enabling others to grow with it
We are not just building communities.
We are building the future of tech talent.

Mi camino en el ecosistema AWS comenzó en el AWS UG Bogotá, donde entendí el verdadero valor de las comunidades tecnológicas.

Esa experiencia me llevó a convertirme en Capitán del AWS Cloud Club at EAN University, con el objetivo de generar oportunidades reales para estudiantes a través del cloud computing.

Recientemente participamos en Santux 2026 en la Universidad Santo Tomás Seccional Tunja, donde logramos impactar:

💥 +400 estudiantes presenciales

En esta sesión compartimos cómo las comunidades están transformando la conexión entre la academia y la industria, y cómo AWS acelera el crecimiento profesional.

Pero más allá de la charla, el verdadero impacto está en las personas:

🤝 Apoyamos a Manuel Galindo para que inicie su propio AWS Cloud Club en su universidad, expandiendo el ecosistema y multiplicando oportunidades.

Esto es lo que significa para mí ser AWS Community Builder:
