This is truly a milestone moment in my career. Being part of this community has been a reward in itself, but receiving this recognition is a reminder of why we do what we do.
Success is never a solo mission. This achievement belongs to the entire SG team. Weโve built something strong together, and Iโm more energized than ever to scale even higher.
Weโve set the bar high for 2025, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish next! ๐
Today marks my one-year anniversary as an AWS Authorized Instructor (AAI). I am incredibly proud of the work weโve done to inspire students and equip them with the skills to build impactful careers in technology.
