Farrah Campbell, Head of Developer Advisory at AWS, shares her non-traditional path into tech — transitioning in her mid-30s without a degree — and the three pillars that shaped her career: trust, curiosity, and community. She reframes imposter syndrome as a signal of growth rather than a barrier, argues that curiosity opens more doors than confidence, and explains how community participation (not just code contributions) can build lasting influence. She introduces the concept of 'community telemetry' — using signals from developer conversations to inform product decisions — and closes with a framework of people, product, and purpose for navigating career choices.
