> I'm also an AWS alumni

Unrelated to your main point, but it's "alumnus" in the singular form. For bonus language nerd points, you would use "alumna" to refer to a woman, or "alumnae" to refer to multiple women. Not sure how Latin handles mixed gender groups, though I would guess it's "alumni".

If you want to go deeper, you also have to takes into account the grammatical roles the word has in the sentence.

I personally think it’s not worth it.
