Yeah. So I started off my career path. I originally wanted to go into physical therapy, and when I started going to college, starting courses for that realized that just wasn't for me. And pretty quickly, I found at the University of Utah I found the business school. Andi, once I was starting courses there. I was able to attend and information systems kind of Q and A session and realized I think this is I think this is it for me. I'm always have enjoyed computers and technology. And so I, as I start looking more into this, realize okay, I wanna want to try this out. So while going through the undergraduate program, I learned more about that. Have a combined program. We could do kind of your undergrad and graduate at the same time at the end there. So often into that, I didn't know for sure what I wanted to do or how you know where I wanted to take my career. And so I took that opportunity to get some additional schooling, which I think really helped and paid off in the long run. Um, and so for me, even while in school, like I said. I didn't really have an idea of how I wanted to apply what I was learning or really what focus? I want to take technology, obviously, that there's a There's a very broad scope of different career paths and opportunities that are available, Consign said. I don't really know where I wanted to go, and so I had the opportunity while at the school to participate in a student program within university I t. Which gave me a lot of exposure to a number of different fields within, you know, information technology from there. That's where I kind of discovered a love for systems operating systems limits in particular. And that kind of jump started me on doing some home projects and starting to learn more on my own Outside of the what I was able to gain from course work and materials, Um, I then jumped into I got hired into an operations role at a new company where I was able to help manage the operational fleet, reduced operational burden there. That was interesting and really, I think gave me a good perspective for how systems design and programming could really affect you know, anyone that's you end customers as well as those that are directly supporting those applications within a business. And I then jumped over two more systems administration role. And from there I was in that role for about a year when I was reached out for someone from Amazon reached out to me with a career opportunity. And so then that's when I moved up to Washington to join Amazon Web services. What other information would be helpful to hear about?

So with my current position within Amazon Web services, I am primarily responsible for a subset of services that support and was on the sea to see. It's a very large, very large company. And so there are a lot of sub teams. My team in particular, supports user and system account propagation, too. Kind of the control plane for Amazon. Easy to. And so, uh, on a daily basis, stuff that I'm gonna be working on it's gonna be operationally, um, making sure that code deployments air happening properly to our fleet and a swell as a little bit of development. Work me in particular. I'm a systems development engineer, so I don't really do suffer development. I'm more focused on automation tasks. It's more kind of scripting. Andi. So that's kind of nuts has a high level of what kind of the daily workload looks like on a weekly hours. I generally work about 40 hours a week. I know Amazon has kind of, ah, could have kind of a reputation of having a little bit tougher workload, work, life balance. But my experience has actually been really positive. I've been able to maintain the work life balance that I am from the happy, um, times been traveling. That's one that greatly increased. Once I moved up to work with Amazon I during the pandemic. I'm working from home, but when we're in a physical office, I usually spend about 2.5 to 3 hours community and to and from every day. And that's obviously just could depend on where you decide to live. So let us. That's where that's where I am.

with within Amazon. Most of the tools that are used are internally developed, so they're not available outside of Amazon. But as far as things that are be commonly known, I spend most of my time writing, you know, doing scripting and automation tasks, either using bash, bash, show or iPhone. A ruby eso scripting languages for my role are the most prevalent. A swells within Arizona large. I mean pretty much any language. There's a team that uses it within Amazon. Um, however, my experience, what I've seen there is Ruby is pretty prevalent. And there are some automation tools, internal tools and Amazon that are all built out. Ribhi. So I think Ruby is probably It is the most common for me with Dash second Python third.
