Congrats William McLean !

William is the inaugural member of the AWS Community Builders  Spotlight- 5 Timers Club! Since we launched our series  back in April, xBill has been a force of nature testing the boundaries of AWS tools such as Kiro and LightSail. On his fictional 5 timers plaque it now reads:
William McLean has earned his spot in the 5 Timers Club by doing what he does best: shipping real, working cross-cloud AI agent projects and showing the community exactly how to do the same. His articles cover deploying MCP servers in Python to AWS ECS Express, orchestrating multi-agent pipelines with Google's ADK on AWS, and building A2A agents in Rust on AWS Lightsail. Every piece delivers working code, live endpoints, and reproducible steps that other builders can follow.
What makes William's contributions stand out is his commitment to proving that cloud boundaries don't have to be barriers. He runs Amazon Kiro on both Google Cloud Shell and Azure Cloud Shell, and caps it off with a cross-cloud benchmarking framework where a Rust orchestrator coordinates agents across AWS, GCP, and Azure at the same time. Five spotlights, five examples of a builder who raises the bar for the entire community. Congratulations, William!
