I'm Aswini — self-taught in frontend development (React, Tailwind, JavaScript) and Java, currently prepping for software development placements.

And as of today, I know almost nothing about AWS.

I've seen the acronym on every second job description. I've watched "AWS in 10 minutes" videos and understood maybe 40% of them. I've felt that specific kind of anxiety where a skill feels mandatory but also feels like a locked door with no obvious key.

So instead of quietly panicking about it, I'm doing what I did with React and Java: starting from zero, in public, and writing down the roadmap before I actually walk it. If it works, this becomes a useful trail for someone else starting at the same zero. If I get something wrong, hopefully someone corrects me in the comments before I get too far down the wrong path.

Why I'm Doing This Publicly
