15 AWS Certifications Achieved! Dmytro Sirant Shares His Journey to Mastering AWS

OpsWorks is proud to announce that our CTO, Dmytro Sirant, completed his AWS certification journey. This achievement highlights Dmytro’s mastery across all AWS certifications, from foundational to advanced specialties, and his dedication to raising the standard in cloud technology.

‍

‍

Since earning his first AWS certification in 2019, Dmytro has completed 15 AWS certifications over five years. These include essential specialties like AWS Certified Solutions Architect — Professional, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer — Professional, and AWS Certified Machine Learning — Specialty. His comprehensive AWS knowledge enables OpsWorks to build secure, efficient, and innovative infrastructures that help our clients scale with confidence.

Reflecting on his journey, Dmytro shares:

Initially, my goal was to learn new things during preparation. However, I adjusted my learning strategy once my goal shifted to earning all certifications to evaluate their complexity and my skills.

He adds:

‍I found myself thinking about client cases correlated with exam questions, leading to potential improvements I could implement.

Dmytro’s achievement reinforces OpsWorks’ commitment to building a team focused on real client impact and continuous learning. His leadership has raised the bar, creating a culture where our specialists are team motivated to sharpen their skills and take on complex projects with confidence.

For those considering starting or continuing an AWS certification journey effectively, Dmytro offers practical advice:

‍Be honest with yourself about why you need these certifications. A certificate without practical experience is meaningless… Earning all certifications won’t make you a specialist in every field; you’ll be more of a generalist with foundational knowledge. A focused expert will always outperform you in their niche area.

Wishing Dmytro continued inspiration and many more achievements on his professional journey that we’ll all be proud of!
