About Thorsten Höger
Hello! I’m Thorsten Höger, passionate about making cloud technologies more accessible and efficient through automation, especially within the AWS ecosystem. My journey in tech is driven by a simple belief: smart automation can make technology both powerful and approachable.

My Background
I've been using AWS since 2013, deeply exploring its capabilities and sharing my learnings along the way. My dedication was recognized in 2017 when I became an AWS Hero, largely for my efforts to support and educate the AWS Community DACH. This recognition reflects my ongoing commitment to demystifying cloud technology and nurturing a supportive environment for learning and growth.

My Expertise
As an AWS Automation Evangelist, my focus is on making cloud infrastructures easier to manage and more efficient through the Cloud Development Kit (CDK). I'm also deeply involved in open-source projects, aiming to foster a spirit of collaboration. By sharing tools and insights, I contribute to a community that pushes the boundaries of what we can achieve with cloud technology, making it more approachable and effective for everyone involved.

What I Do
I specialize in automating AWS infrastructure, aiming to solve common challenges for businesses, especially in regulated industries. My approach is all about creating systems that are reliable, efficient, and tailored to the unique needs of each project. Whether it's through streamlining deployments or ensuring systems are secure and compliant, my goal is to help businesses leverage cloud technology to its fullest potential without getting bogged down by complexity.

Beyond the Cloud
When I'm not navigating the complexities of cloud infrastructure, you can find me immersed in woodworking. This hobby allows me to engage with the physical world in a way that balances the digital focus of my professional life. Woodworking challenges me to solve problems creatively and to appreciate the beauty of crafting something tangible.
