I'm a Cloud Engineer at Amazon Web Services with 6.5+ years across cloud infrastructure, managed databases, and container technologies. I've navigated the full journey — from SQL DBA to Software Developer to AWS Cloud Engineer — so I understand exactly what it takes to break into and grow within cloud roles.
In this session, I can help you with:
- Breaking into AWS / cloud roles from a database, developer, or IT background
- Understanding how to position yourself for EKS, ECS, or cloud-native container roles
- AWS certification roadmap (CCP → SAA → specialty) — what to study and in what order
- Resume and LinkedIn profile review for cloud/DevOps positions
- Navigating the transition from on-prem databases (SQL Server, Oracle) to AWS managed services (RDS, Aurora, DMS)
- Career advice on moving from support/ops roles into engineering at product companies
Best suited for:
- Database admins or developers looking to move into cloud
- Engineers preparing for AWS certifications
- Anyone targeting roles in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or platform engineering
- Freshers or early-career folks mapping out a cloud learning path
Come with your questions, resume, or a specific problem — I'll give you direct, practical advice based on real experience, not theory.
