Below is my personal reflection on the First Cloud Journey program, written in a way that represents my real working style, learning approach, and technical growth.
The environment at FCJ is friendly, supportive, and comfortable.
People are always willing to help — not only during class hours, but also when the project runs into technical issues.
One thing I would appreciate is more technical bonding sessions or small workshops to strengthen team connection and share deeper cloud knowledge.
What I valued most is that the mentor did not give me direct answers — instead, he guided me to think, analyze, and find the solution myself.
This aligns very well with my learning style.
The admin team structured everything cleanly, making it easy to stay organized and focus on the technical components.
Everything I worked on is closely related to cloud engineering, system architecture, and backend development.
The experience helped me bridge the gap between school theory and real-world cloud deployment.
I strengthened many practical skills:
FCJ encourages exploration rather than following a rigid syllabus, which helped me grow faster.
The team is collaborative, respectful, and open-minded.
I appreciate how everyone supports new ideas — especially when I wanted to experiment with Terraform, LocalStack, or new architecture models.
The flexibility in working hours and availability of resources (tools, guidance, discussions) is a huge advantage.
The program provided a strong sandbox environment to explore AWS deeply.
Building a fully functional cloud architecture from scratch — both locally and on AWS.
Yes. Especially to people who want real cloud experience, not just certification-level theory.
