    Having an awesome day with 800 young women at #awsgirlstechday! Thanks to our keynote speaker Carly Wishart and panelists Rebecca Burke, Afshan Siddiqui, and AWS Hero Wendy Wong. We’ve got lasers, robots, and VR happening! Amazing work by Amy Jaballah, Inspiring the Future Australia, all the AWS volunteers, and the #awsincommunities team for making this happen! ❤️


    Mr. Snook is so hot. 😂❤️🔥


    More photos from today’s #awsgirlstechday event! The afternoon session was for high school girls, and we were joined on the panel by my colleague Sara Goldsworthy. My partner Rodd came along to help out, and we were excited to check out driving simulations, drones, robots, and more. Thanks again to #awsincommunities and everyone who made this happen! Hopefully we’ve inspired a few more young women to considering a focus in STE(A)M careers. ❤️

    Managed to piece together enough #awsdressv2 scraps to whip up a shirt! This is the Arkie top from @tessutifabrics. I left off the pockets and used some white cotton for the facing. Cute and ready for re:Invent! #awsshirt


    2004 vs 2023. Nineteen years of grinning at my best friend. ❤️ Happy anniversary, Mr. Snook.

    One week until I leave for re:Invent? Plenty of time to squeeze in one more project! 🪡🧵

    Are you heading to AWS re:Invent next week? My buddy Shafraz and I recorded a “Know Before You Go” session today, sharing lots of tips so you can have a rewarding, fun, enlightening, and safe experience. Check it out!

    It’s Transgender Awareness Week, and this parent gets it. The good guys in history are never the ones pushing for segregation and book banning, or supported by hate groups. This guy gives me some hope for the world.


    Today #AWS released #PartyRock – Amazon’s new AI playground that lets you experiment, learn, and build apps with generative AI. My first app is, of course, an 🎄 Ugly Christmas Sweater Generator 🎅 . Enter a motif and some colours, and it’ll generate a catalog description and accompanying image. (I’ll share the prompts I used for these in the replies.) You can try out my app here or remix it to recreate your own: https://partyrock.aws/u/krishoward/Q595qErw-/Ugly-Christmas-Sweater-Generator #knitting #aiml #generativeai #christmassweater
