Cloud Developer & Senior Developer Advocate @ Cisco

👋 Kumusta! I'm a Filipina software engineer, speaker, published author of the book Coding for Kids: Python, and a LinkedIn Learning instructor who specializes in Cloud Development courses. Currently, I'm also a Senior Developer Advocate for Cisco where I'm sharing how we're so much more than a network and infrastructure company! Perhaps most important, however, is that I spend way too much money on desserts and ungodly amounts of time playing Cyberpunk 2077! Bonus Fun Facts: 🕹 Favorite PC/video games: Age of Empires II, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, and the Borderlands series 💄 Favorite lipstick color is Bite's Aubergine 🎬 Favorite movies are Inception (really, anything be Christopher Nolan) and The Matrix.

This was a nice read. I'm getting one year old in tech so I have not had the in-person conference feel lol. Thanks for sharing your experience! [Adrienne Tacke](https://hashnode.com/@adriennetacke)
