I believe the future can be better than the present. 👨🏼‍💻 Director, @awscloud Builder Center 🐶 dog dad to Parker 🗣 My opinions are my own.

Kyle, this is a classy move. Thanks for doing this!

AWS re:Invent isn't at the same time or area, but we're setting aside 100 complimentary passes for folks with cancelled GHC registrations. While re:Invent isn't a replacement for GHC, I also hope that it will give folks a chance to connect Nov 30-Dec 4th, in Las Vegas. Please email [email protected]

The AWS Builder Loft Berlin is officially open 🇩🇪

Free event + coworking space in Berlin-Mitte, our 2nd permanent Loft after SF (São Paulo + Hyderabad next). Opening night, the mic went to Berlin's user group leaders, because this space is built for the community to make it their own.

Come build with us!

Grateful to share that I'm stepping into the role of Director, AWS Builder Center.

Two and a half years ago Builder Center was nothing more than a doc. Since then we've built that team, shipped the product, and brought the Builder Loft and community teams into one organization which has changed how we build. I get to keep doing this work alongside the people in this photo, and the next few months are a good reminder of why that’s fun.

I'm excited for what's next: our new Builder Lofts in Berlin and São Paulo next month, new Builder Center features (have you downloaded the AWS Builder app?), re:Invent, and the Hyderabad Builder Loft in December. We're also bringing students into Builder Center as part of the $500M+ commitment we made last month, and our community leaders are hosting Community Days around the world.

Huge thanks to Iliyana and the Builder Loft team, to my leadership team, to @julwhite and @ke4qqq for their support, and to everyone who's built this with me. If you're near a Builder Loft or at re:Invent, drop by and say hi.
