[architechty]

Hi All, 

My name is Ty and I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a newly Certified GCP Cloud Architect who is anxious to get cracking on some reference designs. My hobbies are vast, but mostly you will find me golfing and/or making REELs with my 360 camera. I am thinking of building cloud architecture that can support real-time (I mean real-time, not near real-time, or an hour later time) streaming video analytics. Any thoughts? 

With that said, I am exited to explore the group and getting involved in conversations relating to solutions that we can build on the GCloud. 

Thanks and Best Regards, 

Ty

[otman]

Hello,

I'm Otman, an aspiring web developer from France, I stumbled on Google cloud and found the overall experience good and empowering, so I try to dig into it to specialize myself and eventually I'll attempt certifications.

I've not yet found a job in dev, but while I teach myself all of that, I do side projects that I wish will help me to gain experiences and maybe more, both in or outside of the cloud.

I'm mostly here to get connections with people who use the platform and know better, guidances for what I do wrong, and share my journey into the cloud and my side projects. 😁😁

[jiaxiang]

Hello!

I'm a student from Singapore, majoring in Multidisciplinary Design and have been striving towards that direction for the longest time. 

However, about a year ago technology and artificial intelligence became a part of the picture in my life and whatever I could do technically, I am not ashamed to accept that the technology driven AI definitely can and might even do so better. Thus I decided that I am going to understand and venture into a new and unknown place where it's all tech, coding and stuff I dont understand. Anyhow, I suddenly realise'd what happened didn't change my role, I am still doing ''Multidisciplinary'' just that the ''Multidisciplinary'' is under construction and the Design is awaiting for it to mature. 

But I have since slowly gained knowledge bit by bit the last one year though I do have to say I face struggle, and many time lost in the journey so far. I then slowly came across more resources that can help me through as I am learning it from scratch myself with no tutor or guidance. Hence looking forward to pick up knowledge from experienced member from this space. 

I do still believe the skillset I have obtained before gave me a good foundation and my new purpose now is to pick up skillset from the tech, AI and coding aspect, and integrate it with what I was doing before and continue to contribute back with my work. 

I still try to mess around on social media when I am stressed out with learning and other stuff. But that is my other personas and I will remain respectful and a keen learner while over here. Please don't mind if I do ask question that are very straightforward at times and sound dumb. It's not on purpose. 🙂

[gustavribeiro]

Still trying to learn & I hope I'll make it real!

Also I'm a GDG Organizer (GDG Cloud Brasília - you all are invited to join us!). I think I'm really a google-lover (what are the fans name? hahah)
