Self-Assessment

During my internship at First Cloud Journey (FCJ) - AWS from September 8, 2025 to November 28, 2025 (12 weeks), I had the opportunity to learn, practice, and apply the knowledge acquired in school to a real-world working environment.

I participated in multiple AWS cloud computing learning tracks and hands-on projects, through which I improved my skills in cloud architecture design, AWS services implementation, technical documentation, blog translation, and workshop development.

Key Accomplishments

Throughout the internship, I completed the following major tasks:

  1. AWS Learning Journey (12 Weeks): Systematically studied core AWS services including EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, and security best practices.

  2. Challenge Proposal: Developed comprehensive proposals for cloud infrastructure challenges and solutions.

  3. Blog Translation: Translated 3+ technical AWS blog posts from English to Vietnamese, covering topics such as Amazon SageMaker, EC2 Mac instances, and AMD optimization guides.

  4. Workshop Development: Created a hands-on workshop on AWS services integration with practical examples and step-by-step tutorials for hands-on labs.

  5. Event Participation: Attended 2 major AWS events:

    • Vietnam Cloud Day 2025 (September 18, 2025)
    • AWS GenAI Builder Club - AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (October 3, 2025)

In terms of work ethic, I always strived to complete tasks well, complied with workplace regulations, and actively engaged with colleagues to improve work efficiency.
