women changing the world

☁️ **Clouders, ¡bienvenidos al meetup presencial de mayo del AWS User Group Medellín!** 🎉 En colaboración con **RIWI.IO** Un espacio para inspirarte, aprender y seguir construyendo tu camino en la nube. 📅 **Sábado 16 de mayo de 2026** 🕤 **9:30 AM - 12:00 PM** 📍 **Calle 16 # 55-129, Piso 3, Outlet — Auditorio** 🎟️ **Entrada gratuita** 👥 **Presencial** *** **Certificaciones, Seguridad y el Futuro Tech: lo que nadie te cuenta** Tendremos dos charlas pensadas para ti: una para entender cómo las certificaciones impactan (o no) tu carrera tech, y otra para dominar la seguridad en AWS desde IAM hasta agentes de IA. *** 🎤 **CHARLA 1: Sin certificación, ¿Hay contratación?** **Speakers:** **Diana David** — IT Recruiter, HR Manager y Mentora Tech Psicóloga con más de 8 años de experiencia en el sector tech. Ha trabajado en compañías con presencia internacional y acompañado procesos de mentoría para perfiles tech que quieren impulsar su carrera a nivel global. **Lucas Vera** — AWS Community Builder, Arquitecto Técnico y Desarrollador Full-Stack Más de 11 años en desarrollo de software y +5 años como entrevistador técnico en procesos de selección para perfiles de ingeniería. Especializado en soluciones serverless sobre AWS. ¿Cuánto pesa una certificación en la industria? ¿Cómo sobresalir si no se tiene alguna? ¿Cómo hacer la diferencia cuando sí se tiene una? Dos perspectivas — recruiting y técnica — en una sola conversación. *** 🔐 **CHARLA 2: IAM, Perímetro e IA: Un Recorrido Práctico por la Seguridad en AWS** **Speaker: Juan David Alvarez Builes** — Senior Cloud Security Consultant en AWS ProServe Ingeniero de Sistemas de la Universidad EAFIT. +15 años en ciberseguridad y arquitectura TI. 13 certificaciones AWS activas + CISM. Speaker en RSA Conference 2026 y Ekoparty 2025. Basado en Medellín. Un recorrido práctico desde las bases: identidad y control de acceso con IAM, controles de perímetro organizacional como SCPs y RCPs, y los servicios clave de seguridad en AWS — todo con lecciones aprendidas reales y **demo en vivo**. Porque cuando un agente de IA actúa en nombre de un humano, cada política que no esté bien definida se convierte en una superficie de ataque a velocidad de máquina. *** **¿Qué incluye el evento?** ✔ Networking con la comunidad cloud de Medellín ✔ Dos charlas técnicas y de carrera ✔ Espacio para preguntas y debate con los speakers ✔ Snacks **¡Regístrate y asegura tu lugar!**

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*
