The AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification validates expertise in designing resilient, cost-effective, and scalable cloud solutions using Amazon Web Services. It demonstrates the ability to architect and deploy secure, robust applications on AWS technologies, select appropriate AWS services for given requirements, and implement best practices for cloud architecture. This certification is recognized widely in the cloud industry and signifies a strong foundational understanding of AWS services and architectural principles.

My idea was to complement the skills I’ve developed over more than eight years in software development with deeper expertise in cloud services, building on what I had already achieved with the AWS Certified Developer – Associate certification in 2024.

This cross-disciplinary training strategy aims to strengthen both the competencies I use in my professional work and those required for my academic goals. With this in mind, I’m determined to obtain the Azure Certified AI Engineer - Associate certification next year, as it will be particularly relevant and aligned with the development of my Master of Science thesis in Applied AI.

I successfully earned certification with a score of 835/1000.
