Get Paid to Learn in Public: How LFX Mentorship Took Me From Student to CNCF Contributor

How the LFX Mentorship program took me from student to CNCF contributor, and how other students can get paid to learn in public through open source.

I spoke at AWS Student Community Day Bolivia 2026 about how the LFX Mentorship program took me from student to CNCF contributor.

The talk covered how mentorship gives students paid, structured time to learn in public, what contributing to a CNCF project looks like day to day, and how to put together a strong application.

My talk starts at 1:50:40 in the stream.
