I was reading up on generations and just realized that Generation Alpha, the current generation of kids right now, will have its final members being born around this year into 2025, and a new generation will start being born in the coming years: Generation Beta. I discovered this post from last year which predicts how this new generation will be living in a world dominated by Al and therefore might be called "Generation Al". It is an interesting read.

I had a great time attending at the AWS Summit Los Angeles today with my colleague Cyrus M.. A lot of good information about the latest advances in generative AI and its use cases. #AWS #AWSSummit #generativeAI

Today the Greater Los Angeles Scouting Boy Scout council shared a post about me. This month I have become the District Commissioner of the Pio Pico District, which covers the Southeast Los Angeles County cities (other than Long Beach, Lakewood, and Bellflower which are in another council). District Commissioner is one of the key 3 leaders in the district and I lead a group of Unit Commissioners in helping scouting units as well as forming new scouting units.

We are also looking for a full stack software engineer to join us. If you are interested or know someone who is that match what we are looking for in the post below please reach out.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Lead Data Engineer at Influential!

I would like to thank Jean Rodrigues of The Cloud Bootcamp for putting on an informative and engaging "Intensive Cloud Computing" free hands-on training. I come from a background primarily in Azure and secondly in AWS so it is great to further my experience in the Google Cloud Platform and seeing how Terraform can easily be used across multiple cloud platforms. I liked how the week prior there were "warm up" sessions to cover the basics of each of the cloud technologies the hands-on will cover, and then I completed the 3 missions this week: - Mission 1 using terraform to deploy a cluster in Google Kubernetes Engine, a database in Google Cloud SQL, and an Amazon S3 bucket. - Mission 2 deploying a web app in that cluster and use both the database and the bucket. - Mission 3 migrating on-premise database data and user uploaded files to the Cloud SQL database and S3 bucket. Again, coming from a mostly Azure background it is nice to get some more hands-on experience in GCP and AWS. If any of you want to do this too and move your career from on-premise to multiple cloud platforms there is a full paid course coming up at https://lnkd.in/gM4p8ENy.
