Where it started: programming robots in FIRST LEGO League, 2018
Why I started
At re:Invent, I asked Andy Jassy for a summer internship, and AWS invited me to a summer robotics program. I'd been building robots since FIRST LEGO League.
What I did
I helped the AWS Robotics team with their new robots, the Waffle and the TurtleBot, and got to experiment with the TurtleBot and program it myself.
Progress so far
It was my first look at how a real engineering team builds, and it's where I first saw cloud and robotics come together.
