Unconventional Paths to Cloud

🔁 Translating Real-World Experience into Real-World Readiness

🌍 Some programs don’t just teach tech — they spark transformation.

With over two decades in the IT industry — as a developer, architect, and leader — I’ve learned that education is most powerful when it connects to the real world.

That’s why I’m passionate about supporting the AWS re/Start program through my work at neuefische GmbH - School and Pool for Digital Talent.

For the past 5+ years, I’ve worked closely with aws re/start learners not just as a trainer, but as a mentor — combining real-world project experience with a background in psychology to guide both technical growth and mindset development.

💡 It’s not just about teaching tools — it’s about rewiring how learners think, solve problems, and build confidence in a new domain.

Through hands-on learning and direct alignment with employer expectations, our focus is clear: make students truly job-ready — technically capable and professionally prepared to succeed.

A personal highlight from the AWS Summit Hamburg was reconnecting with former students — now thriving in their cloud careers.

Among them was Pascal Spielvogel, who shared his inspiring transition from theatre to tech. Through AWS re/Start and our bootcamp, he shifted careers with focus and heart. Watching him speak on the Tech Alliance Stage was a humbling moment that reflected what this journey is all about.

A special thanks to Dalia Das, founder of neuefische, whose vision continues to empower learners from all walks of life.

And thank you Lucas Ruengeler and the AWS re/Start team for spotlighting these stories. Behind every learner is a journey worth celebrating.

Let’s keep building — with purpose and people. ☁️

A special mention to Dr. Hellen Fitsch, who drives social and ecological innovation with a grounded, down-to-earth spirit. Your presence and passion are truly inspiring.

Hereby, your humble friend,
