Hi! Jason Kadlec joining in from Santa Monica, California.

I'm the product and development team lead for Credit Suite, right now I'm late to the party, having just discovered Dialogflow CX, big query, serverless functions etc. I'm looking forward to moving more things onto these amazing (and so far...very cost effective) tools. 

I'm good at explaining things to beginners...as I am one as well, I'm here to learn how to build an awesome chat bot...then how to get all our data into bigquery so we can start running some better analytics and eventually some predictive models. 

I would love it if this community could help me understand the spots where the documentation has assumed I know something basic..but I don't know it yet.

For fun, I SUP Foil, Wing Foil and Tow foil. (This is surfing with a hydrofoil). 

Hope to pay it forward once I get some things running.

[Denyka]

Hi my name is Denyka,

I am from Alaska and just moved to Ohio...Don't know anyone, well I met a nice women in my apartment complex.  However she is completely computer illiterate.  I know how to use Software, Adobe primarily.  I unfortunately got into the Google Cloud platform under naive pretenses.  I am trying to find ANYBODY that can help me figure out why my cloud billing went from 8-12 dollars a month to $100.  Single Mom, trying to create a start-up.  I thought the platform would help me build a creditable business.  I didn't/don't know what I did or am doing...I am trying to be positive but I don't know why or what an API is or how to shut it down so I can learn this stuff.  I think I bit off WAY more than I can chew and now I have a negative balance in my bank account earning overdraft charges...I was trying to learn this because I couldn't afford to pay someone to build this so I thought I could teach myself.  Well there's not enough time in the day to do all this quickly and I haven't gotten very far on my knowledge....

If anyone can help me get ahold of Google, I've emailed, tried chat, and submitted a form, but I can't seem to get anyone to refund or help me solve this problem.  Please, if anyone can help me out I really need to get this refund before the 1st of the month.

Thank you for your time, 

Denyka

Hi Everyone,

I'm Rohan Singh working as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer in Yerevan, Armenia, originally from India. I write scripts, integrate tools, and optimize resources to deliver better solutions to my customers. I enjoy my work very much. Every day, there is something new to learn.

I've been exploring, working and living in Cloud since 2017 while I was a 2nd-year university graduate student. I was a member of GDG Jalandhar from 2017 to 2020, and have taken a lot of sessions on the Google Cloud Platform at many GDGs, colleges and universities around India. Google Cloud has shot my cloud career success journey via a mini-documentary published on their official YT channel. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/UKKpqs9BTvc

I write regular blogs on Medium on Cloud/DevOps/Infrastructure topics. Recently started to explore and write on security topics.

This year I've started an interview series with industry professionals irrespective of their genre to understand people better, have insights and get rich perspicuity into career and community. It's one interview per month. Here is the link for interested people: https://rohankalhans.medium.com/list/silly-sitdownsssd-with-rohan-d95b0c66d566 

Apart from cloud and tech, I watch MotoGP, love Tea (I extensively prefer Tea over coffee), play foosball, PS5, watch web series, ride a motorcycle, listen Spotify, explore places, cultures, and food tours, and finishing items from my long bucket list.

Happy to join the community.
