A Personal Highlight
One of the standout moments of the evening was getting to meet our AllCode Amazon Web Services (AWS) partners — Rakesh Kumar, Aidin Khosrowshahi, and Sukirti Gupta — in person. Building strong relationships is just as important as building great technology, and this event offered the perfect environment to do both.
