GCP NEXT 2016: A sneak peak behind the scenes

February 2, 2016

Principal Engineer

I recently joined the Google Cloud Platform team, but I’ve never really explained why I was attracted to Google in the first place. Before joining Google I’d been a strong advocate of two key technologies: the Go programing language and Kubernetes. Both just so happen to originate from Google and I’m sure my investment in both technologies helped me land a job here. Like many, I was attracted to Google because of all the inspiring innovations that have helped shape the last decade of computing and have influenced a countless number of open source projects.

I’ve spent several years pouring over Google white papers and stitching together information from across the web trying to stay up to speed, and I’ll tell you it’s pretty time consuming. This year I’ve got a better idea. I’ll be attending GCP NEXT 2016. Why? Because it’s the only conference where you can find complete coverage of Google Cloud Platform technologies and more importantly the people behind them.
