Whether I am live-coding a Gen AI agent or sharing insights on the dynamics of engineering leadership, I bring energy, clarity, and deep real-world experience to the stage. I love connecting with people who are eager to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what technology can solve.

These technologies include but are not limited to Android, Web Technologies (such as Angular, Firebase, Polymer, etc.), Cloud Platform (including Google Cloud Platform, Firebase, Kubernetes, etc.), Machine Learning, Google Assistant, and more.

Google Developer Experts are typically highly skilled professionals who actively contribute to the developer community through various means, such as speaking at conferences, writing articles and tutorials, organizing events, participating in forums, contributing to open-source projects, and mentoring other developers.

Being recognized as a Google Developer Expert comes with benefits such as access to Google's resources and early access to new technologies, opportunities to collaborate with Google product teams, invitations to exclusive events, and visibility within the developer community.

The program aims to foster a network of experts who can help developers worldwide by sharing their knowledge and experience with Google technologies.
