Congratulartions Hector Zelaya !

Come grab the baton and join the 5 timers club Hector Zelaya, you earned it! From Kernel Patches to Cloud Pipelines: Hector Zelaya Joins the 5 Timers Club. On their fictional plaque it reads:
Hector Zelaya is a Computer Systems Engineer from El Salvador specializing in DevOps, WebRTC, and AI. As a Developer Advocate at AgilityFeat & WebRTC.ventures, AWS Community Builder, and AWS-Certified DevOps Engineer, Hector's contributions span the full depth of the modern stack—from writing Linux kernel drivers to orchestrating production container deployments on AWS. His work consistently demonstrates a builder's instinct: find a real problem, understand it deeply, and ship a solution that others can learn from.
Hector's five published works showcase remarkable technical range. He patched the Linux kernel to fix a broken gamepad using Kiro IDE, built complete CI/CD pipelines from GitHub to ECS Fargate using both AWS-native services and Terraform with GitHub Actions, designed multi-stage quality gates in AWS CodeBuild, and demonstrated spec-driven music production by wiring Kiro to a digital audio workstation via MCP. Each piece delivers production-ready code, clear architectural reasoning, and the kind of practical depth that makes the AWS builder community stronger.
