5 octIdeally, I would have been in Prague today, but the Indian visa process really slaps you hardI got selected as a speaker at ValkeyConf in Prague, which is happening today, but sadly my visa didn’t make it through in time EU tour slipped and Asia tour continues i guess! :) Though, really thanks to the ValkeyConf team for considering me and for all the help they provided throughout. Really appreciate it. __ What’s next? I am going to slow down on travelling for a bit (~2months). I have covered close to 8–9 countries in just a year and it’s been incredibly fun I want to just drill myself down and try to experiment + research more instead. I am not very positive about this because I usually end up being more productive while travelling rather than staying home, which is oddly surprising because travels are usually meant for holidays? But there’s no sense of schedule while travelling. Weird sleep cycles, no proper health activities, inconsistent food, and basically no routine. Anyways, if it doesn’t fit me, I will get back to travelling hehe __ What recently? → I was at KCD Gujarat as a speaker!! Will rant about it in a new post. → I built an indie game last weekend! It’s here, go try it out: Moonlit Grid https://lnkd.in/dMwtbvT3 → I am experimenting long horizon tasksssss. I burned like 15B tokens this week, compiling all my learnings rn → I also added through some courses on CloudFluently after some time
- 12 sepI'm a SpaceXAI ambassador now!Thanks to Ben, Sunita, Fawziyah~ Grok bot meetup coming to Pune soon :)

- 10 sepAGNTcon + MCPcon Japan🇯🇵 :)

- 10 sepI'll be speaking at AGNTcon + MCPcon Japan '' today!Again, I forgot to share this, but yesss let's go!! I'll be talking about: Stateless MCPs- The 2026 Transport Spec One of the biggest update was making MCP stateless. Going to share the related changes and some ways of migration Second time in Japan in like 6 months~~ And an all nighter again TT It's been 3-4 days of all nighters now. Had 1.5L of coffee yesterday night so I hopefully I wont sleep atleast before the session haha As usual writing this while rushing to the venueeee p.s. the hotel manager saw me pull an all nighter sitting in the common area and got me coffee TT pic- took rn!!

- 6 sepI'll be at AGNTcon + MCPcon China today!yesterday PyCon went well, even though I made slides last minute haha. Well no time to rest but still best not to leave any opportunity I'll be speaking here tomorrow on- Auditing the MCP supply Chain For today, just meeting folks here. If you are here too, let's have a chat :) pic- from my walk to Bund in the morning trying to find Luckin coffee nearby

- 5 sepPyCon Shanghai 🇨🇳 :)

- 5 sepI'm going to speak at PyCon ShanghaiTODAYYY!! yes, my session on- 'Writing Custom Kernels using FlexAttention' got selected yes, I forgot to larp my selection before It was a bit impromptu. I reached my Shanghai hotel today at 12:30am and well spent an all nighter for the presentation. Jet lag and 24hrs travel ain't a thing Writing this while going to the venue rn!! Hopefully a lot to learn and fun~ pic- took rn!!

- 2 sepHosted Cafe Cursor Pune last Sat and I dare to say it was one of the best events in Pune!!We had booked an entire cafe which was a bungalow turned into a cafe. Whole place was ours with first floor people were sitting and building, ground floor was full of demos / talks / networking, and you could just grab a chair outside if you wanted hehe Build slots 10-1 and 1-4, drop-ins hanging around the whole day WE EVEN MADE it to Twitter trending news along with Delhi folks!! You usually do not see such loose agenda events where there are no speakers or a formal time period but attendees being the actual speakers. Saw some cool demos around too and genuinely good convos!! Good convos, good coffee, free Cursor credits and good chats, thanks to Cursor / SpaceXAI for making this event happen in Pune w help of Ben, Sunita, Fawziyah, Mohammed Sanjeed!! And lovely peeps who helped me w the event- Rushi, Sanika, Shivam, pranav, Natanshi, Akash, Charul, Ramesh and many more Some snaps below, Grok bot meetup soon

- 20 augSharing through some August updates and reflectionsA lot has happened this month and since I am getting old (closing 22 soon), I have lost my ability to larp. Which I will def try, but here I go consolidating everything- 1/ Some recent updates: - I'll be in Shanghai for AGNTcon + MCPcon China in the first week of September to talk about Auditing the MCP Supply Chain. China finally yayyy '' - Speaking at AGNTcon + MCPcon Japan '' in the second week of September on Stateless MCP: Inside the 2026 Transport Spec - Speaking at KCD Gujarat on Scaling LLM Inference on Kubernetes with KV-Cache-Aware Routing, September 19 - Recently became a Cursor Ambassador! - Hosting a Cafe Cursor on August 29 - My talk Measuring Valkey Saturation With Active-Time and Eventloop Metrics in 9.1 got selected for ValkeyConf, so Prague'' in October if my visa works out in the limited time I have TT - Finally started working on my personal website. Been confused about how to design it, but finally have some ideas. - Mem0 has been fun, currently working on integrations. - Joined a Chinese language learning school. Online for now, but gonna start getting serious about it. - Exploring DeepSeek Harness and Cursor Origin. Such interesting launches with so much engineering/research content. __ 2/ Some reflections: a. It's finally been a year since I started my corporate journey (last Aug). Though I was working in uni and all, let's not consider that. It's been a rewarding experience. I'm glad I locked in around June/July last year and I've seen huge changes since then. b. It'll be one year at the end of September since I took my first flight ever, and it was a direct international one lol. Not sure how I hadn't travelled through air before. Solo travel has been extremely fun!!!! I've been to 8 countries in less than a year, with 2 upcoming. I've also been working during my travels, and it keeps me pretty fresh-minded. c. I really took my health and body for granted :( I'm not really smart by nature, so my usual way of coping has been putting in double the hours and sacrificing sleep. My body does not show any good signs for my age. d. I'll be 23 soon FAHHHH. I wanted to do better before reaching unc status, but it's been okay. Not regretful at least. I'll keep figuring things out as I go. __ 3/ What's next: - Take the last 2 months slower, focus mainly on Mem0 + recurring work and get my health on track - Maybe a long-term stay somewhere (long = 2 months hehe) - Pick up some non-AI creative thing - Dig into AI research better I have nothing figured out, im 'on the go' person __ A funny thingy: Was going to speak at KCD Hanoi ''(July end)'booked flights/hotel' got my visa 8 hours before the flight ' rushed Pune to Mumbai (6hrs) ' wasn't allowed to board because my middle name wasn't on the visa. Surprisingly, Vietnam doesn't support corrections, so all gone. Was irritated, had some good food (10k+ cal), and all good. pic: SG

- 14 julCloudFluently has crossed 7k users!!i honestly have not put any time into it since last 5-6 months except updating the old content just randomly checked the dashboard today after months and there's been some consistent learners for few months now w 30-40k+ visits/month yes, i will slowly work to get CloudFluently back. thanks to the frequent users :)

- 13 julGave a session at AWS Community Day Bengaluru last weekendTalked about self-orchestrating agents on AWS, and the protocols A2A+MCP Then the fun part, tried running a benchmark: do self-orchestrating agents (a coordinator that decides at runtime who to call) actually beat a single agent or a hand-written DAG workflow' I built four agentic workflows and benchmarked them ___ The honest answer: it depends on the task shape (which is obv but still wanted to try benchmarking) 1. On a local single-shot benchmark (720 runs, 3 open models), the explicit DAG workflow won on every model. Up to +0.48 higher success than self-orchestration on the weakest one (llama3.1:8b: 0.83 vs 0.35), at roughly half the cost and about 1.7x lower latency 2. On ''-bench (Sierra's multi-turn, verifier-graded benchmark, 240 episodes), it flipped completely. On Claude Haiku 4.5, self-orchestration went from worst to best (explicit 0.20 to self-orch 0.60), and on Sonnet 4.5 it tied for the top. A fixed DAG just can't adapt to where an open conversation actually goes. But self-orch paid for it: ~8.5 delegations and ~3x the latency to get there. 3. READ THE TRACES!! Unguarded, self-orch cascaded to 6 delegations every time on open-ended tasks Autonomy is real, it just quietly costs you in latency and $. Stack, for the curious: > ''-bench (Sierra) + a local suite, Strands Agents SDK on Bedrock AgentCore (Runtime + Gateway), Step Functions + Lambda, litellm, and Ollama for the local models. > Models: Claude Haiku 4.5 / Sonnet 4.5, Llama 3.3 70B, Pixtral Large, plus qwen3 / llama3.1 / glm4 locally. > Metrics borrow from BFCL (tool-selection) and '-bench (pass^k). ____ Slides: https://lnkd.in/gnUEmSGj Benchmark repo: https://lnkd.in/gZE83StR ____ This was my first time speaking in Bangalore, and it's so different from a Pune audience. Its filled with typical nerds and I loved it. Would have loved to catch more Bangalore events, but it was a fast Pune<>BLR in the morning and back by evening. Honestly a bit travelled-out, coz just got back from Taiwan too Had really nice chats with Sankalp, Sagar, Pratik, Adit, Jyoti and many more. Awesome speaker lineup too. And thanks to AWS User Group Bengaluru, Jones, Avinash and the organizers + volunteers for putting it together As usual, some exciting things coming up :)

- 8 julsmall benchmark im trying to run- does letting AI agents orchestrate themselves perform betteror does it just add cost and more failures' I built a quick benchmark harness along with 4 agent architectures to evaluate on: - single: one agent with all tools - explicit: a hand-authored workflow / DAG (deterministic) - self-orch: a coordinator that decides at runtime which specialists to delegate to (A2A) - hybrid: self-orch + a guardrail (a cap on delegations) the setup kind of is: -graded on ''-bench (Sierra's public tool-agent benchmark) with pass^k reliability [btw first 720 runs on my labelled task suite] - scoring follows BFCL for tool-selection - and the Inspect AI dataset'solver'scorer pattern - local models on Ollama for NOW I will be running the same four strategies on real AWS serverless architectures since i was originally experimenting as i will be speaking on this topic at AWS Community Day Bangalore ___ The TLDR till now from the base experiment (720 runs, 3 open models): - The scripted workflow was more reliable than the autonomous one on every model, +58 points on the weakest (paired bootstrap, p'0) - On an open-ended task, the unguarded self-orchestrator kept delegating until it hit its cap (6 hops); a simple guardrail held it to 2 - It costs more per query for less reliability, and the trade gets worse the weaker the model. The read: self-orchestration is a tradeoff, for now well it largely depends on the models and harness too. planning to take this further, primarily on AWS by using better inference models and I will setup AWS architectures for each workflow and then locally for long runs with better models after i delete some games to free up space lol ____ you can check the bench here: https://lnkd.in/gZE83StR I am trying to learn how do we even benchmark workflows in the first place. Honestly, just experimenting but its been fun. If yk a standard practice to it, please comment through or dm

- 26 junAt DevOpsDays Taipei :) 🇹🇼

- 18 junAt Singapore!Will be attending PyCon SG tomorrow I will be in SG for a while so hmu for coffee chats or coworking together :)

- 14 junYou can feel the difference in a room where everyone is building instead of just listeningANDD that was Build Day: Agent Harness & Memory [Build Club x Mem0], finally wrapping up! The agenda was different from the usual community events you see in Pune Instead of sessions where attendees sit and listen to talks for hours, the idea was to run it more like a cowork space where people: come up with an idea ' build something ' demo it ' get feedback Honestly, the whole format was pretty ambitious. But everyone delivered!! We had incredible: 2 awesome workshops: - Saurabh Mishra on building an agentic app you talk to over Telegram, with Google ADK - Jitendra Gupta on going from memory to action, an autonomous SRE agent with Mem0 + OpenClaw 3 research yaps: - Atharv SP, a deep dive into the Claude Code harness - Bhoomi Awhad on context window degradation and token budgets in multi-session agents - Pratiksha Naik explaining the FadeMem paper and more than 15 demos!!! YESSSS. Incredible projects built by the community: - Dinesh Seervi, LLM Gateway: how to secure LLMs - Om Mapari, Shello CLI: an AI agent for SRE and DevOps - Vishwanath Patre, AI Doc: the AI doctor for AI projects - Amit Singh, One Model, Many Minds: a personal agent harness with context injection - Kedar Vartak, Glassbox: an inspector for agent context and on-the-spot builders like: Vedant, Pankaj, Arnav, Siddharth, Varad, Tanishq, Atharva, Arpan, Arinjay and a few more I missed T^T The demos were incredible. Some VERY interesting stuff. Thanks to Technogise and Immanuel for letting us host at their office space. To Sagar Utekar for co-hosting and helping get this event into reality. And thanks to all the volunteers, Akash, Om, pranav, Ramesh, Faizan, and my last-minute helping friends Rushi and Shivam :) [I hope I did not nag everyone too much with projects :p] ONTO NEXT <3

- 12 junTomorrow me and Sagar Utekar are running Build Day: Agent Harness & Memory event in Pune (Build Club x Mem0)It is a build event, not a talk-and-leave one. Bring a laptop and an idea, sit together with other builders, get feedback and demo your implementation How the day looks like' : - a quick research peek into agent harness and memort, - two hands-on workshops by Saurabh Mishra and Jitendra Gupta - a two-hour build sprint, - and a demo hour to close The bounty board has a few projects to pick from if you want to get some idea inspiration- - building an agent harness from scratch - building an agent with memory on versus off and benchmark - A Telegram bot that remembers each user across chats, etc many more We also have made a Resource center if you are relatively new to the concepts of Agent Harness & Memory and want to get started: https://lnkd.in/dfRwXvgu Full agenda and the whole bounty board and resources below- Even if you are not attending, would be a good resource for you to skim through Invite-only and full this time. See you tomorrow!
- 11 junhitting the scuba kitty dance coz I’m visiting Taiwan again 🇹🇼I’ll be speaking at DevOpsDays Taipei 2026 (jun 25-26) on ‘AI driven SBOM & Remediation’ Taiwan holds a very special place for me and I want to gatekeep it so bad. Taipei was the first international city I ever travelled to and no other city has topped it since, EVER last time I did mention I’d drop some travel stories and forgot but will do this time. going full north Taiwan -> south Taiwan :) also going to be in Singapore next week 🇸🇬 so anyone from SG and TW, if there’s an event or just want to grab coffee, hit me up!! LETS GO ___ Thank you Chris, Augustin and DevOpsDays Taipei team + Alex ~

- 6 junspent last sat at Cloud Native Day pune in collab with VultrModerated panel w Preeti Wadhwani :) Interesting meetup as always, CNCF pune community never disappoints And, fun convos w everyone!!

- 2 junPune AI Builders, this is for youHosting an event- 'Build Day: Agent Harness & Memory' in collab with Build Club x Mem0. A full day on the parts of agentic AI, agent harness and memory yap. Because the bottleneck right now isn't the model. It's the harness and the memory: the loop your agent runs in, the tools it reaches, the context you feed it every turn, and whether any of that survives a restart. So we're spending a whole day building exactly that. - Date: 13th June - Time: 10AM - 3:30PM ' Apply: https://luma.com/k0188xwl (invite only, limited seats) What's the day look like' 1. Research yap ' where agent memory & harnesses actually stand in 2026 2. Live build walkthroughs ' harness + memory, in real code walkthrough/workshops, no slides 3. Build sprint ' extend a walkthrough, bring your own project, or grab a bounty off the board. Sit together and BUILD 4. Demos ' 5 min each, show what you shipped '' Call for builders The stage is open. You can: - Lead a workshop around agent harness and memory [STRICTLY NO SLIDES] - Drop a 10-min research yap - Demo something you built around agents, harnesses, or memory Apply here: https://lnkd.in/dNRS4kEC Pune's builder scene has grown massively this year, and betting on the same Let's BUILDD!! p.s. Repost please! Lets get it to all the builders in Pune :) and- we are looking for venue sponsors. If this event sounds interesting to host at your office space, lets talk! Annie Liao '', Vedant Dwivedi

- 28 mayAt AWS Summit Mumbai :)Let's chat if you are around

- 23 mayYesterday evening at the Cloud Native Pune meetup at Platform9. A meetup after a long timeFour talks, all dense and worth the time: 1. Maximise GPU efficiency with MIG on Kubernetes by Devendra Kulkarni -> MIG partitions a single GPU into isolated instances, and the Kubernetes device plugin + GPU operator schedules workloads across them. [https://lnkd.in/dS3xV3qd] 2. Your Database Deserves Better: Run It the Kubernetes Way with OpenEverest by Atharva Mhaske (proud of u :)) -> OpenEverest wraps the operator pattern around Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB so provisioning, scaling, and maintenance stop being manual work. Good for cost reduction if you are running RDS instances(very costly :/) [https://lnkd.in/drdWjfFQ] 3. Architecting Local AI Agents by Ashutosh S. Bhakare -> ADK for orchestration, Gemma 4 for reasoning, Docker Model Runner for containerized inference. Entire agent stack running locally [https://lnkd.in/dvYac4Ec , https://lnkd.in/dzydk8Tk] 4. Escaping Hypervisor Lock-in: Open-Source VM Migration with vJailbreak by Omkar Deshpande and Sarika Gautam (most interesting for me) -> Open-source tool to migrate VMs from VMware vSphere to OpenStack or Platform9 Private Cloud Director. Agentless, uses VMware VDDK, supports live and cold migration. [https://lnkd.in/dXWzSA9F] Met so many of you cool folks unexpectedly. pranav metil, Preeti Wadhwani, Pradnya Deshpande, Onkar Shelke, Ramesh Choudhary, Faizan Firdousi, swayam, atharva ...(old unc memory) Kudos to the CNCG Pune team Sagar Utekar, Pradyum Chopade and Platform9 for putting this together :)

- 2 mayI've joined Mem0 as Member of Technical StaffHuge thanks to Taranjeet Singh and Deshraj Yadav for the opportunity and really grateful to be part of what they're building! Grateful for the wonderful experience at ZS too Memory layer for AI agents and harnesses is still a largely unsolved problem and Mem0 is one of the few teams actively working on it If you're building in this space, feel free to hit the dms. would love to chat

- 1 mayDevOpsDays Tokyo was everythingI gave a session on Autonomous SOC: AI-Driven Supply Chain Security & SBOM Remediation Been exploring Japan in between and just absorbing it all Huge love to the phenomenal speakers- Nathen Harvey, Andrew Clay Shafer, Edwin Alan Moedano Cardiel, Weithenn Wang, riccardo soro , Nicolas Fantoni, Augustin Lu, Ludovic TOISON , Dr. Joe Perez + folks that I missed Thanks to Alex Papadimoulis , Sasa-san~~ , Emi-san~~, organising team and translators for holding the whole thing together. Maybe already plotting a Taiwan trip soon to reunite with Augustin, Weithenn, Rose and the crew there ' Sushi time was fun :) Akihiro Okuda, Hugo Marin ' On the talk side: Over the last few weeks- Trivy, LiteLLM, Axios, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Railway CDN, Vercel, pretty much every major tool in the modern stack had a supply chain incident. Things we use personally and at enterprise scale. So I built something: a plug-and-play autonomous SOC you can drop straight into your GitHub Actions pipeline. Open source, and I'll keep iterating, contributions very welcome. Slides link: https://lnkd.in/dB_kHz2M GitHub repo link: https://lnkd.in/dXQwMhQu More updates soon :)

- 19 apr“Because milestones are not just meant to be celebrated, but to be shared”So proud of everyone You’ll def see some more things like this coming up from AWS Student Builder Group at PICT <3

- 17 aprAWS AI Launchpad for Professionals by AWS User Group Pune happening tomorrow!!What an insane lineup of speakers! Sadly won’t be there tomorrow but looking forward to hearing experiences from you guys Do attend :)

- 10 aprA lot of crazy things happened last weekWas busy building and lazy enough to make seperate posts so dumping all into one here +_+ 1. AWS Student Community day was successfully hosted by AWS Cloud Club PICT on 4th April. As a founder of this club, always wanted to host a SCD and thanks to my juniors for organising I was in the organising and the panel discussion Btw, AWS Cloud Club PICT has grown to the largest AWS club worldwide with 5k+ members :) ' 2. Thanks to Bhoomi Raut and AWS Cloud Club at Sanjivani College of Engineering for inviting me as a speaker at AWS Student community Day Sanjivani. I talked about AWS Lambda Durable functions along with step fns and eventbridge onto how to create stateful applications The students were eager to learn with more than 500+ attendees!! ' 3. Thanks Omanand Swami for inviting me for the inauguration of AWS Cloud Club at JSPM RSCOE on 7th April I talked about some cloud fundamentals ' 4. Thanks Ram Iyengar for scheduling an OpenSSF live event on 9th April where I talked about Autonomous SOC Def troubled him a lot in organising it smoothly ' 5. And a small mention onto the inaguaration invite to I2IT some weeks back. Was nice to see Faizan and some I2IT folks at AWS SCD Pune And finally a talk at DevOpsDays Tokyo coming up soon. There's some interesting updates coming up too. Currently just focusing on as much as I can focus on building. That said, IM AT HONGKONG''. Anyone from HK up for coffee chats or lock in at some cafe' Hit me up!!

- 31 marJapan, I'm coming!!Excited to share that I will be speaking at DevOpsDays Tokyo 2026 (Apr 14-16) on the topic- 'The Autonomous SOC: AI-Driven Supply Chain Security and SBOM Remediation' The timing could not be more relevant. The last two weeks were a supply chain security disaster: ' TeamPCP compromised Trivy (a security scanner) and cascaded through 5 ecosystems in 8 days ' LiteLLM (95M downloads/month) was backdoored via stolen PyPI credentials from the Trivy breach ' Axios (83M downloads/week) was hijacked via a stolen npm token, deploying a cross-platform RAT ' OpenAI Codex had a command injection flaw that turned Git branch names into credential-stealing payloads ' Claude Code's entire source code leaked via a .map file accidentally shipped to npm Every one of these exploited the same structural flaw: AI and developer tools hold elevated credentials by design, and nobody is monitoring them with SOC-level rigor. That is exactly what this talk is about. How to build a closed-loop system that catches these before they cascade. I will post some content about this in the upcoming days. Also going to be in Hong Kong'' and Malaysia'' around the same time. Would love to meet builders and the tech community across all three countries. Anyone in Japan, Hong Kong, or KL up for coffee chats, meetups, or office tours' Please hit me up!! Thanks Alex Papadimoulis and the DevOpsDays Tokyo team :)

- 28 marA few days back, was glad to be there as a speaker for the AWS Cloud Club I2IT inauguration alongside Vishal AlhatToday, heading to AWS Student Community Day Sanjivani to talk on Stateful systems organized by AWS Cloud Club at Sanjivani College of Engineering And next Sat at AWS Student Community Day Pune :) It's always nice to connect with student communities eager to learn and figuring out what to do next (same situation, me too) Bullish on students and these AWS Cloud Captains spearheading initiatives along w their teams Faizan Firdousi, Bhoomi Raut, Mayuresh Muluk Anyways, onto today's event. EXCITED

- 3 marI'm officially an AWS Community Builder for the AI Engineering category!Pretty long journey of ~3 years from a naive student interested in AWS, to an AWS Cloud Captain and now an AWS Community Builder after tons of events, content creation, conversations and experiments Thanks to the always inspiring Dheeraj Choudhary , Vishal Alhat '' , Ridhima Kapoor , Paxton L Hall and all the learners out there who have been a part Building continues

- 22 jan100k+ impressions on Google Search in ~3 months. Here's exactly what I didA few months ago, I started an SEO experiment for CloudFluently where I wrote 150+ blogs from scratch to see if I could crack organic search. Here's everything that worked (and what I learned the hard way) ' __ ' The Technical Foundation (do this FIRST): Set up the boring but essential stuff 1. robots.txt: tells Google what to crawl and what to ignore. 2. sitemap.xml: basically handing Google a map of your site. Submit it to Search Console. Every new page should automatically appear here. 3. Google Search Console: where you see what queries you're appearing for, which pages are indexed, crawl errors. 4. Clean URLs: /blog/aws-saa-exam-guide not /blog/post'id=123. Google uses URLs to understand content hierarchy. __ ' Why 150+ Blogs' (The Volume Logic): Google has something called "crawl budget" which decides how many pages get crawled and indexed. New sites get limited budget. As you publish more quality content, Google allocates more resources to you. The 150 blogs weren't about hoping all would rank. It was about: - More surface area = more queries to appear for - Discovering which 10-20 topics Google actually cares about - You won't know what works until you publish. It's a discovery game. __ ' Keyword Strategy: This is where most people mess up. They write what they want, not what people actually search. 1.

- 21 decPeople are stealing my content.So, what am I doing? I'm making it easier for them If you've been following me, you've seen me constantly posting free cloud resources on CloudFluently. We already have 5k+ learners, 15k+ course enrollments and an enthusiastic cloud community :) I've been running this platform completely solo - coding, bug fixing, content creation, marketing, you name it. And these free resources related posts hit MASSIVE impressions. Just... not on my account. Over the past few months, influencers from the cloud space have been copying my posts + graphics word-for-word, slapping their name on it, and posting. Straight up plagiarism. The crazy part? → Some claim CloudFluently is THEIR platform → Some put their names on my content like they made it → Some block me first, THEN post my content I'm a small account. When someone with 100k+ followers posts my exact content, my credibility goes to zero. My work gets no credit. That part genuinely sucks. _____ 🤔 So what am I doing about it? Here's the thing - instead of crying plagiarism, I see a growth opportunity. My goal with CloudFluently has always been simple: make cloud learning free and fun for as many people as possible. If my content spreads, that mission wins. I just need the right people spreading it. 👉 So I'm working on- CloudFluently Ambassador Program. The idea is simple: If you create cloud based content or lead a cloud based community, CloudFluently can help you reach the goal with more visibility and resources! Still figuring out the details, If this sounds interesting, drop a comment- 'CLOUDFLUENTLY' and I will DM you the details. I'm starting with 25 creators this month. Would love to connect with creators who care about this space. Also I'm curious - have you ever dealt with content theft? How did you handle it? ♻️ A repost would mean a lot as a support

- 14 nov6 months ago, I was preparing for my final year project submission.Today, I visited AISSMS as an external examiner to evaluate final year projects. Life really does turn 360 fast. Glad to share I was invited by the AISSMS IOIT CS Department as an external examiner, and honestly, it felt surreal to sit on the other side of the table. Met several final-year teams and some of the projects were genuinely impressive ✨ The tech bar for students is rising quickly. You can clearly see university teams building real products, not just submitting “college projects.” 🤔 And honestly, this is the best era to be a student. With AI tools everywhere, it’s absolutely possible to build a product before graduation or even start something of your own with very little friction. 🛠️ If you’re a student and want to start building, here are a few AI tools worth exploring: 1️⃣ To build faster: - Cursor - Windsurf - Continue[dot]dev - bolt.new 2️⃣ To design better: - Figma + Diagram AI - tldraw + MakeReal 3️⃣ To research smarter: - Perplexity - Typeset[dot]io (SciSpace) - Scite[dot]ai 4️⃣ To launch your project: - Replit Deployments - Vercel - Supabase 5️⃣ To showcase your product: - Framer AI - Typedream AI - Mixpanel Thanks to AISSMS IOIT, Archana ma’am for the invite and to all the faculty who were incredibly supportive. Walking into the university: - First as a student - Then as a speaker - Today as an external examiner- all within just one year. What’s next? :)

- 12 novI wrote 100 blogs in ~10 days. Literally.It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been deep into SEO experiments for CloudFluently, a free cloud learning platform. For 2 weeks, I paused all new CloudFluently updates just to understand where the existing audience comes from. Here’s what I found 👇 - 90% of our traffic came from LinkedIn - Almost none from Google (yet) That’s actually interesting!! Because it shows how strong the LinkedIn community has been in driving visibility so far. But it also highlighted something VERY IMPORTANT: to build long-term reach, CloudFluently needs to start showing up in organic search too. So what about expanding the traffic sources? That’s exactly what I’ve been working on. __ 👉 The SEO Reality Check Everyone says “just do SEO.” Here’s what that actually means when you start from scratch: 1. Competition is brutal. There are already thousands of articles explaining every single cloud concept. 2. Big players dominate. AWS, Google, and Azure own most of the top results. 3. Age matters. Google prefers older, established sites. 🤔 Okay, so what have I been doing? 1. Volume: Create that amount of content. Maybe not just 100, but if I can have 1K to 10K content pages, will it rival the big 3? Very curious. The straightforward answer is no, but it’s possible. 2. Quality: Content without quality won’t get you more visits. So I’m focusing on writing in my own way. 3. Internal Linking: Connecting related topics so users naturally move between pages. __ 🔗 You can check out the blogs here: cloudfluently.com/blog __ This 100-blog sprint was just an experiment I wanted to run. I’ll be sharing the results and complete learnings soon. SEO is a patience game :( If it fails, it fails- I’ll just change the strategy for the next 100. There’s a really good level of madness needed to run experiments like these, haha. If you’re also working on SEO, I’d love to hear your tips 👇 P.S. I’ll be adding one more major traffic source soon :)

- 22 octNew Feature: CloudFluently now has a Blog section!You can find blogs related to: - Cloud computing concepts - Study guides & tutorials - Certification exam tips and focus areas - Best practices & real-world examples You'll be seeing tons of blogs flooding here soon 👉 cloudfluently.com/blog Want your blog featured? DMs are open. Also check out the CloudFluently project gallery to browse cloud projects and submit yours: https://lnkd.in/dYm9T76y __ 🤔 SOO, TO THE MAIN POINT: why a blog section? To crack Google search = SEO and discoverability. Right now, my only source of audience is LinkedIn. If someone Googles "AWS certification free" or "Azure best practices" - CloudFluently doesn't show up. That needs to change. Organic search is the most sustainable growth channel for a free platform. You build it once, it keeps bringing people in for months/years. The problem? CloudFluently's content is behind courses where you need to signup - potentially hindering search engine ranking. That's why this blog is the public face of the platform. __ 💻 What's next? I've been experimenting with SEO strategies and there's a LOT to unpack. Blogs are just one piece of the puzzle. I'll be sharing more posts soon on: - What I've explored so far - SEO tips that actually work - Results & learnings from this journey Till then, check out CloudFluently and share it with someone exploring cloud :)

- 18 oct📈 How to grow your public profile on LinkedIn(Some learnings as a small account) So, I have been posting frequently on LinkedIn since past few months about my build in public journey, tech events, free learning resources etc. __ 🤔 First of all, why is it even necessary? Well, I'd say your public profile holds a lot of value- in tech or just in general. I am definitely one of those people who never really like to post, but I do it anyway. When you have a journey you’re showcasing and people feel connected to it, you start seeing tons of opportunities come your way. Visibility is the key. And you need a public profile for that. __ I gained over 350k impressions (more on X) as a small account and here's some things you can do to grow too👇 1. POST FREQUENTLY: - Everyone will tell you this, just increasing your posting frequency to a post every 1-2 days will give you very high visibility - Be that 'annoying guy' in the feed till they actually remember you 2. PICK A NICHE: - Be known for something you are good at. - Maybe its research, community host, ML enthusiast, someone who loves cloud whatever. - You should be the first person popping up in their minds when the niche is mentioned 3. FLEX: - As stupid as it sounds, very few to no people care about hard work compared to the numbers that shine. - You might feel boasty about flexing your metrics but do it anyways. - 300k is nothing but i'll flex anyways coz most of them won't read this without seeing that number - If possible, have a CTA to funnel into another post 4. FUNNEL THAT ATTENTION: - Once the flex catches attention, funnel it into providing something valuable. - For eg: Flex the LinkedIn impressions and funnel it into providing what you have learned - In the end, your focus should be providing quality content 5. STORYTELLING: - People like to see the journey, not just the destination. - Now you need to keep the funneled audience engaged in through storytelling - Share your wins, your failures, your metrics, your updates 6. REPEAT STEPS 3-5 (with 1–2 running in the background): - Keep flexing → funneling → storytelling in a loop. - The more you repeat, the more familiar you become. - Eventually, you’ll have an audience that looks forward to your posts. That is it. Repost if you found this helpful ♻️ Would love to hear how you work on building your public profile in the comments 👇 1M coming soon

- 14 oct☁️ Cloud Certifications are great but projects get you hiredOne of the biggest things I’ve noticed while running CloudFluently: people love learning cloud, but they often struggle to start building real projects. That’s why we’re launching a new section on CloudFluently called Build- a space fully dedicated to hands-on cloud projects. Here’s what you can do inside Build 👇 1. Explore the Project Gallery - Browse real cloud projects built by the community along with resources. - Get inspired, learn how others are building, and find your next project idea. 2. Submit Your Own Project - Finished something cool? - Showcase your project with details and start building your cloud portfolio. - - Get feedback from the other community members for your project. 3. Join Build Challenges - Every few weeks, we’ll host themed challenges where you can build domain specific projects - You’ll get a chance to learn, compete, and get featured on CloudFluently 4. Community (coming soon) - We’re working on a community section where you’ll be able to discuss projects, get feedback, and collaborate with other cloud learners. The goal is simple → Go from Learning → Building → Showcasing → Repeat Because certifications are great but projects get you hired. Start exploring the Build section here 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dicCgzyu And if you want to prep or build together with other cloud builders worldwide, join our Discord community: https://lnkd.in/datXJ_Ye

- 25 sep🇹🇼 Taiwan, you were incredible!Just wrapped up my first international speaker session at AWS Community Day Taiwan on ‘Scaling RAG on AWS: Building AI Apps’ The perfect way to kick off turning 22 (though I’m still in denial that I’m not 21 anymore😭) Huge thanks to Franky Chen for making this happen and to the entire AWS Taiwan team for the warm welcome. I’ve been part of and helped organize many tech events, but I’ve never seen one run this smoothly- massive respect to every organizer and volunteer (sorry I can’t tag you all!). 🙂↕️Special shout-outs for all the love and conversations: Shu-Mei (Amy) Lee • Danny Chan • Kuan-Hao Huang • Yu Chen Lai • OO KANG ZHENG • Sky Chen (and everyone else I couldn’t tag ). Taiwan gave me more than just tech takeaways; there are stories and non-tech learnings I’ll share soon. For now… ✈️ heading to Bangkok for the next chapter. 🔗Slides from the talk are here if you’d like a reference: https://lnkd.in/d2yW8Mqx Big thanks to Pranav Metil , Rushi Balapure, Kaushik Aduri , and Sanika Kotgire for the last-minute presentation help.

- 24 sepCloudFluently just crossed 100k+ visitors and 10k+ course enrolments!!!…ANDDD the site is (temporarily) down. Well, not exactly down but I paused the servers. In just 3 months since release, CloudFluently is swinging big with metrics like: - 100k+ visitors - 10k+ course enrollments - 5k+ users - 1–2 million API calls/month - with users in 140+ countries, and the costs have shot through the roof. For the last 3 months I’ve been: • Paying server bills + handling scaling • Shipping every feature, bug fixes and new content creation • Doing it all ALONE while working a full-time job (There’s a weird sense of satisfaction along with the increasing costs though 😌) So what about charging users for courses? I very strongly believe that- LEARNING SHOULD BE FREE AND FUN And CloudFluently would be sticking to that. But free doesn’t have to mean “solo.” This is where I need partners. 👉 If you’re a company, community, or investor who believes in fun, accessible cloud education, let’s talk. If you know any entity/company/community who would be interested in partnering up, tag them below 👇 I’m currently in Taiwan with no proper laptop adapter (rookie move), so give me some time to bring everything back online. The basic site still works; courses will be back soon. I’ve also been talking to many founders over the past few days, finding inspiration to pivot CloudFluently from a ‘Cloud Learning’ platform to a ‘Cloud Hub’. And yes, a major new update is on the way :) Thanks for all the love so far <3 ___ P.S. Did you collect your CloudFluently sticker yet? P.P.S. Support to help me reach a partner through comments/reposts would be appreciated :)

We’re looking for speakers and we’re opening the stage to anyone using AI in a unique way. NOTE: This is not 'just' for software engineers. Who can apply? - Industry professionals but also - Students (even high school students!) - Housewifes/ Househusbands - Maybe a maid or a barista? - A police officer? Why not If you’re leveraging AI to do something cool- building, experimenting, or finding a unique way to use it, we’d love to have you on stage. Your company tag or job title won’t be the deciding factor. What matters is: what you’re working on and what you can share with others. ✨ Even if you’re not selected as a main speaker, if you have something unique to share, we’ll make sure you get a 5–10 min lightning slot to showcase your story, project, or product. 👉 Submit your proposal here: https://lnkd.in/dNuCPEfd 🗓️ Deadline: 7th September, 10:00 PM IST Also we are looking for venue partners, so if this sounds interesting, just send through a direct message :) Build Club, Annie Liao 🇦🇺, Saanvi Y.

- 3 sep✨ Community Update: I’m officially the Pune City Lead for Build Club!What’s this? Build Club (started by Annie Liao 🇦🇺) is a global AI community where people come together to learn, experiment, and ACTUALLY BUILD with AI. Over the past year, I’ve seen how AI is transforming the way we work, build, and create. But here’s the truth: tools alone aren’t enough. We need spaces where builders come together- to learn, experiment, and ship real projects with AI. That’s what me and Vedant Dwivedi are starting here. An AI-first community in Pune for developers, founders, students, who want to push boundaries and actually build. The first event is happening very soon and it’s going to be the start of something special. 👇 Comment “BUILD” if you want to be part of it. I’ll DM you the invite link to our first event. LET’S BUILD

- 30 augMetrics are nice, but real impact is what mattersI’ve been sharing my build-in-public journey with CloudFluently for a while now. The numbers have looked good but today, something happened that meant way more than any metric. Got a message from Aiman Haziq A.Jabar saying he passed his AZ-900 exam using CloudFluently resources. That right there made my entire day. At the end, tangible quantitative 'impact' is what matters rather than fat 'metrics'. If you’re learning cloud or preparing for certifications, here’s what we’ve got live right now 👇 AWS: - AWS Cloud Practitioner → Study Notes + Practice Exams - AWS Solutions Architect Associate → Study Notes + Practice Exams - AWS Developer Associate → Study Notes + Practice Exams - AWS SysOps Associate → Study Notes + Practice Exams Azure: - Azure Fundamentals [AZ-900] → Study Notes (dropping tomorrow) + Practice Exams - Azure AI Fundamentals [AI-900] → Study Notes (dropping tomorrow) + Practice Exams - Azure Data Fundamentals [DP-900] → Study Notes (dropping tomorrow) + Practice Exams GCP & Hands-on tutorials → coming soon! 👉 CloudFluently is meant for people to get curious and fall in love with cloud and hoping to get more impact soon -> cloudfluently.com Anyone else preparing from CloudFluently? Which cert are you preparing for, drop in comments 👇

- 26 augJoined ZS as a Solutions Associate in the Technology services teamExcited for what’s next :)

- 25 augGave a speaker session at 'AWS Global Community Gatherings' hosted by HIROMI ITO and Yuki Sunaoka on the topic- '𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 + 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗠𝘆…I covered: ✔️ How GenAI and Serverless go hand-in-hand ✔️ An overview of AWS GenAI + Serverless services ✔️ My personal AWS Builder Workflow ✔️ Learnings, pitfalls & best practices It was incredible sharing my journey and exchanging insights with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) community spread across the globe Kudos to the fellow speakers Abinaya S V, Priscila Araújo, Nagaswetha Mudunuri for their inspiring talks on AWS P.S. – Always a joy being part of global AWS meetups <3

- 24 augHere is how I cache 97% of my 1 Millon+ API calls effectivelyHere's the story: CloudFluently now gets ~50k visitors monthly and it got 1M+ API CDN requests and 34.1k+ API requests this August!! When I checked the metrics, I saw these numbers and thought "wait, that can't be right"🤔 The Math That Blew My Mind: → 1M API CDN requests ÷ 34.1k API requests = 29:1 ratio → That means 97% of our requests are served from cache! → With 50k page views, that's only 0.68 API calls per page view → Industry average? 3-5 API calls per page. CloudFluently crushing it. ____ 💻 How I Built a Caching System That Actually Works: 1. Start with CDN-First Architecture - Set up a global CDN for all static assets and API responses. - This single decision gave us 80% of our cache efficiency before writing any custom code. 2. Layer Your Caching Strategy Intelligently - CDN layer: Global assets, images, static API responses - Application layer: User sessions, computed progress data - Route layer: Page-level caching with smart invalidation 3. Use Conditional Caching Based on User Behavior - Cache course content aggressively (rarely changes), but keep user progress real-time. - Different data needs different strategies. 4. Monitor Cache Hit Ratios Like Revenue Metrics - Track CDN-to-API ratios daily. If it drops below 10:1, investigate immediately. - Cache performance = user experience. 5. Strategic Cache Invalidation > Long Expiration - Better to invalidate precisely when content updates than guess cache durations. I clear only what actually changed. ____ 👉 The Lesson? Sometimes Don't Over-Engineer! I was ready to build Redis clusters, implement GraphQL caching, add service workers but a learning platform like CloudFluently isn't computationally expensive. Redis would add network latency for simple reads, excessive memoization would eat memory for content that barely changes, and service workers would complicate deployment for minimal gains. Know your application's actual needs before adding complexity. ____ One Flaw I Found: Some pages make 6-8+ API calls. Even though they're served from cache, a typical page shouldn't exceed 5 API calls, so I'll be working on optimizing this. I remember working on my website's caching because I'm using high-load animations and components and refused to remove them, but wanted to make the user experience better and faster. Guess it worked really well :) ____ 🙃 Thanks for the support, THE GROWTH IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE and If you want free cloud learning resources, check out -> cloudfluently.com

- 19 augEver faced this? → You prepare weeks for AWS certs from tutorials, but when you sit for the exam, the questions feel like they came from…Happens all the time. Why? Because tutorials are built for general AWS learning, and not specifically for the cert exam content Now don’t get me wrong- you need that general learning (otherwise nothing makes sense). But to actually clear the exam, you need content that’s tailored to the exam domains. Think of it like learning guitar: you can practice random chords all day, but to play a specific song, you need to learn the exact chord progression for it. That’s why I built these FREE AWS Study Notes on CloudFluently: 1. AWS Cloud Practitioner [4 Modules, 27 Lessons] → https://lnkd.in/gGNZyWgw 2. AWS Solutions Architect Associate [4 Modules, 44 Lessons] → https://lnkd.in/dmXppcyE 3. AWS Developer Associate [4 Modules, 45 Lessons] → https://lnkd.in/dHRffasf 4. AWS SysOps Associate [6 Modules, 42 Lessons] → https://lnkd.in/dQvU4kg9 They’re based 100% on the official exam guide and organized domain wise so you know you’re studying exactly what matters. If you’re preparing → save this. If you’ve already cleared → share your tips below, would love to add them in. — 🔗 Explore free cloud learning resources: cloudfluently.com 👥 Join the CloudFluently Discord to prep with peers: https://lnkd.in/datXJ_Ye ♻️ Repost if you think this might help someone. ,

- 17 aug📈 2-Month Update on CloudFluently (spoiler: the website went down, literally!!!)It’s been about 2 months since launching CloudFluently, and the support so far has been insane. What is this? CloudFluently is a FREE platform for cloud learning resources and roadmaps. 📈 Here’s how things look so far, since launch: > 12 courses [293 lessons] live → (5 study notes + 7 practice exams) > 50,000+ unique visitors > 2,000+ registered users > 3,300+ course enrollments > 160k+ API requests 😭 > AND Learners from 113 countriesss!! Honestly, this went way better than I expected. In fact… it went too well. I maxed out all the Vercel free tier limits and the site went down temporarily 🙃 👉 Sorry for the downtime, I’ll have things back soon. I’ve been running this entirely on free software, providing all courses for free and building everything from scratch to avoid costs and to keep all the learning resources free for users :) For the curious, the tech stack is pretty standard hackathon package: Next.js, Supabase, Clerk, Sanity, Vercel (+ a few extras). Another fun stat: CloudFluently now has 12 courses and ~293 lessons. Even if: Each lesson took ~30 mins to build → that’s ~146 hours in 2 months → ~2.5–3 hours every single day. So yes, I’ve been bullishly consistent. But the best part has been the messages, encouragement, and meeting new people in the cloud community. SO MUCHH LOVEEEEEE ALSO, we have a new program update coming soon on CloudFluently and all animals lovers are gonna love it :) __ P.S. Applications open for CloudFluently sugar parents(uhm i mean investors) to sponsor just the basics

- 6 julSaturday spent right at Grafana Labs x Kubernetes Pune meetup at Intangles :)It's been a few months since I hit a meetup, and it was so good to be back. Seriously amazing speakers and topics: - Sandeep Sukhani gave an insightful recap on GrafanaCon recap - Sanika Kotgire demonstrated scaling with Grafana Mimir - Swapnil Kulkarni showcased the exciting capabilities of AI for Kubernetes operations. - Pramod Pawar delivered a talk on the synergy of AI x Observability. Great work to Ruturaj Kadikar and all the volunteers for hosting such a valuable session. ___ P.S: College students and early career folks, listen up! Seriously try attending these meetups. The knowledge and connections you'll make are a goldmine. I started going since my first year of college itself, and it truly pays off.

- 29 jun💻 I just replaced a $100K/year DevOps engineer with AI.Okay, not entirely. But hear me out: We have a lot of AI tools for code generation and AI is definitely getting better and better. But what about Infrastructure by AI? 👉 Just tell AI to spin up a VM and there we go! Sounds interesting right? __ And that's where I started building InfraPilot. Where we can go 'Infrastructure as Conversation (IaC)' instead of 'Infrastructure as Code (IaC)' Think Cursor for Infrastructure. 🤔 What InfraPilot actually does: - Just put a prompt on what infra you want to create and deploy - It creates a Terraform file (IaC code), explanation and a complete architecture diagram - You can iterate over chats if you want modifications unless you are satisfied - Once satisfied, you can click on Deploy which will automatically Deploy the complete architecture for you. It works for ALLL the Cloud providers (LITERALLY! Even multi cloud). The whole process automated. Just say it and your infra is provisioned and this is just the beginning- ___ 🛠️ What's next? → What about editable infrastructure diagrams (think Figma + InfraPilot) → Or it understands your existing codebase (InfraPilot + Github) → Or a direct IDE integration (InfraPilot + Cursor) → Built-in monitoring integration (InfraPilot + Monitoring) ___ Here's the uncomfortable truth: A lot of infrastructure work is the same patterns over and over. There's some predefined boiler code for setting up VPCs + subnets, Serverless, RDS with backup etc. So why not speed this up? SO, will this replace DevOps engineers? NO (Sorry I needed a strong hook +_+). But it will definitely need fewer people and way less time. ___ We’ve seen AI assistants like ChatGPT revolutionize how we think, write, and code through conversation. But most of them stop at suggestion. That’s now changing. Tools like Cursor are blurring the line between IDE and AI, not just writing code, but modifying real projects and triggering workflows. AI is moving from assistant → agent. (has already by a LOTT) 👉 So here’s the natural next step: If AI can help write code, why can't it provision infrastructure? On that regard, I would love to hear out thoughts from the professionals working in this field in the comments. This is just an initial project concept I worked on. 💭 What problems do you face daily that AI could help with?

It’s that weird space of “do I wait until it looks more impressive?” But posting > not posting. Gotta document the journey somewhere. The first 1k signups are always a painfully slow curve. It really tests your patience. This one came just from the launch post- no heavy push. Just launched and went back to sleep. But hey, we’re still moving. Would be onboarding interns by next week :) You can just DM if you are interested too. Its open for everyone between 10 - 100 yrs of age and from chaiwala to IT wala professions.

So expect more updates and fun stuff following this :) — P.S. This isn’t the actual announcement I teased in the last post but yes, definitely a major initiative I’ve sacrificed my sleep on 😅

- 18 mayFrom building a club to betting on myself.Here’s what’s next 👇 Incredibly proud to announce that Mayuresh Muluk has been selected as the AWS Cloud Captain for this cohort along with 113 others worldwide. Proud to have the next AWS Cloud Captain from PICT 🌟 And with that, I’ll be stepping down as an AWS Cloud Captain and the President of the club. There are some crazy numbers and achievements to flex about what the club pulled off in just a year. But honestly, couldn’t care less. The real flex are the club members, fr. Felt like I was running an adoption center and collecting nerds like Pokemons😂. In the end, I somehow gathered the most cracked and mischievous bunch and I couldn't be happier~~ Thanks to all the countless mentors Jen Looper, Sambit Bhattarai, Tracy Wang, Dheeraj Choudhary, Vishal Alhat ☁️, Rachna Chhajed Karnavat and many many more who not only supported me but also helped me truly fall in love with the cloud community. __ 🤔 So, what's next? I’ve always had a soft spot for the cloud community, so this definitely isn’t the end. :) I recently had an opportunity to experience a 26 LPA(base) job offer for a short period and I'm really grateful to the experiences I had from them but further moving on, I decided to take a gamble on building something of my own (coz 20s are meant to be crazy ;)) And with that, there’s an exciting announcement coming soon for all cloud learners and the cloud community. Also, if anyone’s still looking for a summer internship, this might just be for you. Thank you to all of you<3 BIG ANNOUCEMENT SOON 👀

- 4 mar☁️ AWS Cloud Captain Applications Closing Soon!If you’re a student passionate about cloud computing and want to lead a tech community on your campus or even at a regional level, AWS Cloud Captain is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for! 🤔 What are AWS Cloud Clubs? As an AWS Cloud Captain, you get the chance to start and lead an official AWS Cloud Club affiliated with AWS. This means organizing workshops, hands-on sessions, and networking with AWS experts, all while building a cloud community at your university. Personally, being an AWS Cloud Captain has been a crazy experience, from learning alongside cloud enthusiasts to helping peers find their interest in cloud and meeting some like-minded folks (who prefer dev over dsa :P). 📌 How to Nail Your Application? - No AI for the written application PLEASE. AI-generated content is super obvious and can lead to an instant rejection. - For the video, don’t just explain tough concepts but focus on simplifying them for students. No script reading. - A letter of approval from your university is strictly required (unless your university already has an AWS Cloud Club). 🔗 Apply here: https://lnkd.in/d264R6CX The last date for applying is 16th March.

- 12 febAWS Student Builder Group at PICT Recruitment Drive – Done and Dusted✅Just wrapped up the recruitment drive for AWS Student Builder Group at PICT with a lot of excitement (and exhaustion). Took over 120+ interviews along with the help of the amazing team members who made it happen. Yup, coffee was definitely involved☕ Big thanks to all the new members who joined the offline meet session and brought so much energy and enthusiasm. Can’t wait to see you all grow individually and with the club✨ 💻 So, what’s cooking? Welcome to the 30+ new team members and 60 interns. Interns? Yes, you read that right. We’ve got project and research interns, including 5 project teams and 5 research teams leading the club’s Research & Development (R&D) initiatives. 🤔A popular 'Huh?' reaction I kept getting— "Club hiring interns???" Yeah, sounds wild, even to me. But here’s the reason — we wanted to give 1st and 2nd-year students a chance to dive into brainstorming and hands-on cloud projects. The club will help them with mentorship, outreach and maybe even sponsors for potential ideas. So, not bad, right? Kudos to the pro recruiting squad: Pranav Metil, Mayuresh Muluk, Mayuri Kolhe, Ankit Patne, Shivam Khetan, Shriniwas Prachand, Palak Agrawal, Kaushik Aduri and Sonali Kamble. 🌟 ALSOOO, AWS Student Builder Group at PICT community just reached 1.5k+ members mark in less than a year and we are just getting started :) - P.S. If you are interested in getting started to learn cloud and AWS through sessions & hands-on, join the ‘AWS Cloud Learning Challenge’ – https://lnkd.in/dii3qbcv

- 28 aug🌟 AWS AI Practitioner Certification—done and dusted!I’ve been excited about this certification ever since it was announced—and here it is ✨ If you’re planning to prepare for this certification, here are some resources I highly recommend: First, to get a clear understanding of the exam structure and topics included, start with the official exam guide: ☁ Exam Guide - https://lnkd.in/diTvbM6g For study courses, I used the AWS Skillbuilder AI Practitioner exam prep plan and Stéphane Maarek's Udemy course. Both are excellent resources to gear you up for the certification. ☁ Exam Prep Plan (AWS Skillbuilder) -https://lnkd.in/deRmqwUp ☁ Udemy Course - https://lnkd.in/dEE4SRY4 Some general points— ☁ The exam consists of 85 questions, VERY LENGTHYY. ☁ Is hands-on practice needed? In my experience, not much—just focus on Amazon SageMaker hands-on if you are interested. ☁ If you’re already familiar with the basic AI/ML terminologies, pretty easy to prepare! ☁ Key topics to focus on: AI/ML Fundamentals, AWS AI Services, Amazon SageMaker(lots of questions on this) and Amazon Bedrock.

- 24 sepI'm thrilled to announce that I've successfully obtained the AZ-104 Microsoft Azure Administrator certification, making me Azure 3X…This certification exam notably focused more on case studies rather than the straightforward questions. I found Microsoft Learn to be an invaluable resource, offering well-structured sections and concise yet informative explanations covering all study topics. Additionally, Examtopics proved to be an excellent platform for practicing the types of questions you may encounter. However do check out the question discussions too as some answers provided are wrong. Link- https://lnkd.in/dViifWUE What's next?->AWS SAA
