Yoo! I wrote a blog for people confused on whether S3 is now a file system or not since people only read headlines now...

Bruuhhh... what AWS service is this??

Don't cheat!

What think this service does by looking at the icon?

Just published my 1st blog with AWS DevRel titled "Everything You Need to Know About AWS for Your 1st Dev Job!"

Check it → https://t.co/uWiiJk7Rn6

It's one thing to be super excited, especially in this job market, after landing your first job as a dev building with AWS... 😮‍💨

But as your first day gets closer...
This is usually when you'll realize...

No matter how many "Day in the Life" videos you've watched or AWS hands-on tutorials/projects you've done, you actually don't know what to expect in your first job.

You start asking yourself..
→ What should you already know?
→ What should you focus on first?
→ How do devs actually work with AWS on a day to day?

So you start psyching yourself out, then imposter syndrome starts seeping in and you haven't even received your new company laptop.

This is when you wished you had a guide to help you prepare for your first job as a developer building on AWS.

Well.. that guide has arrived!

I tried to strike a balance between being technical enough to be valuable while staying accessible to new devs, without it turning into a 10-page monster 🤣

I focused on the what will actually help you during those dreaded first couple onboarding weeks!

If you got any other tips for new devs building on AWS, share them!

@ifeanyi_otuonye Big time! Been a long time coming 💚

[Ifeanyi (REXTECH) @ifeanyi_otuonye]

I’ve officially joined the Developer Relations team at AWS as a Technical Evangelist! 🙌

This is a new hybrid role that uniquely sits between developer advocacy and product marketing!

I’ll be focused on driving the creation of tech content and narratives that educate and empower devs to build and push the boundaries of what’s possible on AWS.

I’m beyond grateful to now have builders as my primary focus and serve the dev community in this next chapter at AWS.

I usually plan 2–4 years ahead.
Actually… my goal was to transition to DevRel after 3–4 years here.

But God had a different plan...
His grace of speed collapsed a 4 year goal into just over 1!

That's why I always say…
Focus on your journey... not the destinations.

Oh.. and follow the @awsdevelopers page!

We got some amazing things coming this year! 😁

@ifeanyi_otuonye The real MVP 💚

[Ifeanyi (REXTECH) @ifeanyi_otuonye]

AWS MVP 2025 🙌
Shout out to my Account Teams on an amazing 1st year who empowered me to stretch beyond what I thought my limits were.

To be frank, a day in the life at Amazon is just another day of drinking from the firehose.

I don’t think the water pressure ever decreases..

You just learn how to drink faster and increase your drinking capacity 😂

Your limits are exceeded daily which enables you to accomplish what you never thought was even possible.

It’s like looking at the top of the mountain from the bottom of the valley and wondering..

"How are we ever going to make it up there?"

Then once you reach the summit, you stop to ask..

"How did we ever make it up here?"
