AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional
The professional-tier GenAI exam, and the closest formal match to what I build: foundation models wired into real workflows, agentic systems, retrieval architectures, and the governance around them. It assesses the unglamorous half, evaluating output and controlling cost and latency and applying Responsible AI controls, which is the half my projects are organised around.
What it covers
The domains the credential examines, taken from the issuer’s own published outline, not a self-assessment.

Where it shows up
A credential is a floor, not a portfolio. The case studies are where this work is actually visible: the architecture, retrieval, and pipeline decisions behind them, with the measurements that back each one.
