When I gave 20% and did my first TWIC

In a recent post, I mentioned that I started to work for a new team at Google. That team is the Developer Media Network/Studios (DMN/S) team. It is tasked with creating engaging, digital content at scale.

Before I joined the team full time, I worked with them (then named the Online Content & Experiments, or OC&E, team) as a 20% project. 20% projects are when you get to put 20% of your time into some other project, that may have nothing to do with the team you are working on. It wasn't writing code, per se, but it was talking tech - or being a developer advocate, something I have been trying to do before I even joined google.

The June 20th, 2022 episode of This Week In Cloud (TWIC) was the first piece of work I got to help with by being that week's host. TWIC is a show where we, "serve you the lowest latency news." Or, rather we tell you the news of Goggle Cloud over the past few weeks.

In that episode, I discussed:

• Calculating trillions of digits of pi
• Web-GL Maps
• Machine Learning acceleration

Have a watch and let me know what you think of my first go and maybe my swank Google accessibility shirt.

I'll be recording another episode of TWIC this week so keep an eye out on my twitter and other socials for it in a week or so (video productions takes time).
