I managed to get the [AWS Certified Developer - Associate ](https://www.credly.com/badges/b982295e-e392-475a-ad30-53b94e1423fd/linked_in?t=rppsh8)[certificate](https://www.credly.com/badges/b982295e-e392-475a-ad30-53b94e1423fd/linked_in?t=rppsh8)! It was harder than the Cloud Practioner one, but I’m very glad I managed to succeed on my first try. Now I feel ready to explore the AWS Cloud Services as a cloud developer. Throughout learning for this certificate, I gained a ton of insights about the possibilities with Cloud Development. The next step is converting this newly gained knowledge to practical experience and learning even more!!!  
   
Big thanks to [Big Industries](https://www.linkedin.com/company/big-industries/) and [De Cronos Groep](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cronos/) to give me this opportunity. Also, a big thanks to my colleagues they gave me good tips to study and get ready for the exam!
