About Veliswa Boya
I am a Senior Developer Advocate working especially with – but not limited to – developers in the sub-Saharan Africa region.
Formerly an AWS Community Hero – first woman out of Africa, to be named an AWS Hero.
My tech background includes software developer, business and systems analysis, solutions architecture and cloud engineering.
I believe that what’s led me to my current role is my belief that technology can change the world and change lives – therefore no one should be left behind in what I call the tech revolution that includes technologies like cloud, machine learning etc. I advocate for inclusion of others in this world of technology. I have a passion for Africa and I believe in the talent that Africa has – I advocate for developers from Africa, for opportunities for visibility here and beyond our borders.
I mentor those who are looking to get into tech or looking for help in navigating their way through tech and careers in general.
Favourite tech topics on AWS: Architecting on AWS, Building resilient architectures, AI/ML
