Back home after my fifth in-person AWS re:Invent!
This time of year is always special — a chance to regroup with fellow AWS Heroes and builders traveling from around the world. Loved reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, and taking a much-needed break from the daily chaos. The week was packed with learning, inspiration, and networking.
Special thanks to Ross Barich, Farrah Campbell, Taylor Jacobsen, and the entire team for everything you do to make this event amazing. And always an honor to be part of the AWS Heroes family.

The Renaissance Developer
And the most touching takeaway from this year’s re:Invent:
Be the Renaissance Developer — someone who is curious, thinks in systems, communicates clearly, takes ownership, is a polymath, and grows with AI, not against it.
Keep calm and carry on {coding}.
