Hello, I’m Veliswa Boya. I am a Senior Developer Advocate living in Johannesburg, South Africa. I work especially with - but not limited to - developers in the sub-Saharan Africa region.

Formerly an AWS Community Hero - first woman out of Africa, to be named an AWS Hero.

My tech background includes software developer, business and systems analysis, solutions architecture and cloud engineering.

I mentor those who are looking to get into tech or looking for help in navigating their way through tech and careers in general.
