Post-AWS Announcement: My Absolute Blacklist After wrapping up my tenure at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I've taken some time to reflect. While I'm grateful for the technical experience and opportunities, | refuse to stay silent about the toxic individuals who made the environment unbearable for me and many others. These people are now on my absolute blacklist — I will never work with, recommend, or associate with them again in any professional capacity. Absolute Blacklist (in no particular order): Purnaresa Y ~ Cloud Security Specialist Amazon Web Services (AWS) Rahmat Fabhian Aminuddin ~ Solutions Architect Amazon Web Services (AWS) Ida Bagus (Tugus) Raditya Avanindra Mahaputra ~ Tech Architecture Accenture (ex-AWS) Dian Hamama - Strategic Human Resources Business Partner Amazon Web Services (aws) Fernandito ~ Sr. Solutions Engineer Databricks (ex-AWS ecosystem) Anthony Amni - Country Manager Amazon Web Services (AWS) Indonesia Alexius Alvin - Solutions Architect Databricks Veny Charnita Ginting - Solutions Architect Amazon Web Services (AWS) CC: Andy Jassy Matt Garman Ali Ghodsi Simon Davies If you're a recruiter, hiring manager, or fellow ‘technologist in the cloud/AWS space in Indonesia, Malaysia, or Singapore — consider this my public service announcement. I believe in accountability. Toxic behavior, politics, backstabbing, and unprofessional conduct have no place in our industry, especially at a company that claims to be “customer-obsessed” and “high-bar.” 'm now moving forward — open to new opportunities with teams that actually value respect, collaboration, and psychological safety. If you're a solid professional who's had similar experiences or just want to connect for positive reasons, my DMs and inbox are open. Let's build better teams. #AWS #CloudComputing #ProfessionalAccountat #IndonesiaTech #MalaysiaTech #SingaporeTech
