About Me

Hi, I'm Osinachi! I am an AWS Community
Builder in the Networking & Content
Delivery Category with experience in cloud
engineering, community building, and
technical training.

I started my cloud learning journey in Dec 2023 and it's been AWSome ever since!
I believe that the future is ACTUALLY cloud - not AI, not quantum computing! Without the
cloud, these technologies would be unable to achieve their core purpose: widespread
accessibility and impact.

I'm passionate about community, value distribution, and impact especially in the AWS cloud
and DevOps space. To this effect, I founded two cloud/DevOps groups (The Cloud Crowd
& DevOps Conclave) to help others find community and opportunities to learn, grow,
collaborate and make impact in their own spheres.

After hours, I love music, games and I also have a side passion for product design.
