Software Development Engineer @ Amazon/AWS

Hi! I'm one of the maintainers for the AWS SDK for Ruby. My path here started at [Ada Developers Academy](https://adadevelopersacademy.org/). In a previous life, I worked in hotel meeting spaces, where I helped facilitate large-scale conferences like Grace Hopper, PGA, the National Federation of the Blind, and more. It's hard to pinpoint my favorite problem to solve, but I'm very invested in how early-career engineers will grow in the age of AI. How do we keep growing and fine-tuning our software development depth while under pressure to deliver quickly? How do they learn to make the judgment calls? That said, I love Ruby. I find the language very charming and the community even better. When I attend conferences, I always leave feeling stronger and excited for the future. Here is my GH: https://github.com/jterapin
