Ready to meet the Masterchef ?

First of all, thank you for making it till here. You, my friend, are part of the reason I love teaching so much.

It couldn’t have been possible without your passion for learning and the desire to help the world with what you’ll learn here.

That’s what has brought me so far to realise the need for AWS Masterclass.

Hi there! I am Shivam, your AWS guy for this cohort.

Being a full stack developer with 5 years of experience, I have happily taught thousands of students on YouTube, where I create videos for developers like you on JavaScript, TypeScript, React, NodeJS, AWS and many more.

Before you enrol if not already, you should check out some of my free-forever videos to see if you love how I teach.

I can relate how hard it is for you to find the right resources to fulfil your needs.

After entering the world of web development when I was 14, and unable to find what was actually needed to build my dream projects, I felt helpless.

Still I was able to build an application by

  • Spending hundreds of sleepless nights on experimentation
  • Struggling on my own by reading documentation
  • Asking people for help in Discord channels
  • Scanning through hundreds of issues on GitHub
  • Opening a new issue if nothing was found
  • Emailing AWS support back-and-forth

Now that I have all the secrets,
I can’t wait to share them with you!

Trust me, it wasn’t easy. Reading the AWS documentation only gives you very little clarity. I assure you that I’ll make it super simple for you.

I’m not here to be a businessman, but your friend and mentor, unlike others. I want to see you build scalable solutions, know the best service to use in AWS, learn how to think on your own, and be the best ever problem-solver in the world of cloud.
