FROM CURIOSITY TO CLOUD ☁️
What does curiosity look like when you actually follow it?
During our 2nd AWS SBG AASTU Community Event, Gedion Daniel shared how his journey into cloud and AWS started.
He was self-taught, tried different learning opportunities, and most importantly, kept building.
One of his early projects, Abe Garage, taught him something important: writing code is one thing, but building something that actually needs to work is completely different
Then came AWS 🚀
He launched a server using Amazon EC2 and saw his work running in the cloud for the first time
That first experience turned curiosity into something bigger
Start curious
Start building
Learn as you go
And who knows where that first project might take you ✊
