I started the AWS re/Start program with almost little background in programming and cloud computing. It is hard to find learning resources and a community that will help you learn different technologies. Thanks to the program it taught me all the fundamental lessons that an aspiring tech career shifter should have, FOR FREE!

I dreamed of building a career in the tech industry, and the AWS re/Start program gave me the opportunity to start that journey. Along the way, I've gained not only technical skills in areas like AWS fundamentals, Linux, databases, and networking, but also the confidence to believe in my potential to grow in this field.

The AWS re/Start program taught me a lot about AWS and security. Now, I'm working on an AWS Client project and sharing what I learned with my students. My advice to new scholars is to stick with it and use what you learn in real projects.
