My Journey Through the Google Developer Expert Academy (EMEA)
A detailed account of my experience in the GDE Academy, a 6-week program for the EMEA region, designed to fast-track potential GDE candidates.
Over the years, I have enjoyed contributing to global knowledge by writing about the most complex problems I have solved and creating guides on replicating the solution. My publications have drawn attention from all over the world and created a significant impact. They inspired many and helped many more solve their technical challenges.
