// THE PROBLEM

iOS developers found AWS services complex and documentation lacking for mobile-specific use cases.

// THE SOLUTION

Created comprehensive video tutorials, blog posts, and conference talks specifically for iOS developers using AWS Amplify. Worked with the SDK team to improve the Swift developer experience.

// CHALLENGES

  • Translating complex cloud concepts for mobile developers
  • Keeping content updated as AWS services evolved rapidly
  • Balancing advocacy with honest feedback to product teams
  • Building authentic community relationships at scale

// WHAT I LEARNED

  • Developers trust people who share their struggles, not just successes
  • Video content has incredible reach and longevity
  • Developer advocacy is part teacher, part product manager, part community builder
  • The best documentation comes from actually using the product

// RESULTS

Reached 50,000+ developers through tutorials and talks. Contributed to significant improvements in the AWS Amplify Swift SDK. Built lasting relationships in the iOS developer community.
