The Appasaurus Founder Story

Appasaurus was born out of a pivotal moment in June 2024, when Dex Baker, a seasoned software developer, architect, and leader with over 35 years of experience, decided to turn challenge into opportunity. After a workforce reduction at Amazon, Dex saw an unfulfilled need in the training market: a program that not only taught AWS Cloud technology but also demonstrated its real-world applications to solve practical problems.
With a passion for teaching and a deep love of technology, Dex launched Appasaurus with a singular mission: to empower learners to master essential AWS skills at their own pace, supported by immersive, hands-on demos grounded in real-world use cases.
Dex’s journey to Appasaurus is steeped in resilience and leadership. As a United States Marine Corps veteran, he brings the same determination, discipline, and commitment to excellence to his training programs as he did to his service for the country. A strong advocate for the US military community, Dex is dedicated to helping veterans and others transition into rewarding careers in the tech industry.
Appasaurus isn’t just a training platform—it’s a vision to close the skills gap in cloud technology and inspire learners to build meaningful, impactful solutions using AWS Cloud. Dex Baker’s story of adaptability, innovation, and service continues to shape Appasaurus into a beacon of accessible and practical learning.
