Hey Everyone, I also worked with Alex and his team during the fall of 2023 and it was an amazing experience.
Mentoring some young college folks into a project foreign to them is very rewarding both for them as well as for the mentor. As a mentor, i learnt a lot during this process due to the beginner doubts and issues the mentees ran into which we often ignore as solving such issues seems trivial to us. This led to a lot of improvements in breeze as well during that time. Similar to Dennis, I won't be able to commit the time required (which isn't a lot btw) and I also want to give this chance to others as well :) Thanks & Regards, Amogh Desai On Sat, Apr 5, 2025 at 2:32 AM Ferruzzi, Dennis <ferru...@amazon.com.invalid> wrote: > Hey.
