Back in 2021, I was a marketing manager for an IT company and let’s just say, my technical skills were a little shaky. So, I did what any sane person would do - I went to a coding bootcamp, got my first coding job, and boy was I hooked! It’s true what they say, “you never stop learning in tech” - or at least until the robots take over. But being a marketing pro, I couldn’t resist the siren song of content creation....
A while ago I decided to start publishing post on my own blog and move away from Medium/Hashnode/Dev, so I could have more ownership over my posts. The engagement is great on those platforms, so I plan to cross-post my posts there, but for now I want to show you how to build a static website on Hugo and deploy it on AWS Amplify. Although Hugo was not the most voted one on Twitter, I chose it because it does exactly what I needed to do, and nothing more....
Last week I failed my first Microsoft certification exam. While falling short in life is rarely a confidence booster, I was actually able to use the experience as an opportunity to reflect on something important in my life that I had been ignoring. Why I took the exam in the first place In June, I did the Azure Developer Challenge, and upon completion, I received a voucher to take a Microsoft Certification exam (valid until December 31st 2022)....
If you’re asking yourself this 👆question (I know many of you are), you’ve come to the right place.

Before you start applying Before you start clicking apply left and right, remember what I always say “Network your way in”....
On November 9th, I went to a workshop at Google called #IamRemarkable for “Women in Cloud”, facilitated by Gautami Nadkarni and Naomi Klamen. The workshop is an initiative that strives to empower everyone, particularly women and underrepresented groups, to celebrate their achievements in the workplace and beyond. Although I typically feel a bit uneasy discussing my own accomplishments, hearing other women’s stories made me feel confident enough to share my own in a safe space....
Last month I went to Detroit for my first big open source conference — KubeCon. This exciting event would be my first opportunity to join the Cloud Native OSS community in-person. Going there, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect initially, but as it turns out, the whole experience blew my mind. I hope by the end of this article I can show you just why. Ps: You can also check out the vlog I made of the conference to see it for yourself!...

So I’ve found amazing communities you can join for free, that will help you connect with others who share the same experience, failures, and successes within the industry....
