AWS Student Builder Group UST
Harvesting Data: Adventures in Data Systems
This one holds a special place. 'Harvesting Data: Adventures in Data Systems' at the University of Santo Tomas was my first speakership outside of my own campus — and the AWS Student Builder Group UST gave me the warmest welcome I could have asked for. A room full of student developers, aspiring data engineers, and cloud builders showed up ready, and that energy made everything feel worth it.
GDGPUP Cloud Solutions Study Jam
Cloud Architecture 101: Designing an Event Ticketing System
This wasn't just a Study Jam — it was a competition. The session was built around a simulated client problem: an event planner who needs to sell concert tickets online, with real requirements and real constraints. Two speakers, one challenge, and at the end, attendees would put forward their own solutions. Best diagrams win.
GDGPUP Cloud Solutions Study Jam
Build Your Cloud Arsenal: A Deep Dive into GCP Compute Services
The second session in GDG on Campus PUP's Cloud Solutions Series picked up where the onboarding left off — but this time with a single question: if you have an app idea, how do you decide where to run it? The session was structured around the compute spectrum: Full Control with IaaS, Simplicity with PaaS, and Flexibility with FaaS — and the goal was to make the trade-offs between them concrete, not theoretical.
AWS Universe: Planet Emerald — Gateway Activation
Planet Emerald: Gateway Activation — AWS Fundamentals & Security
Planet Emerald was AWS Student Builder Group PUP's entry point into their 'AWS Universe' themed event series — a virtual session open to the entire organization, built around one goal: getting every member properly set up and secured on AWS from day one. The theme was more than aesthetic — Emerald as the gateway planet, the Console as the command center, IAM as the security gates. It framed cloud computing as something navigable and intentional, not overwhelming.
AWS SBD Fair — Department of Cloud Computing & Infrastructure
SBD Fair: Introduction to Cloud & AWS Cloud Computing 101
The SBD Fair was the Department of Cloud Computing and Infrastructure's way of opening its doors — a virtual orientation on MS Teams where prospective and new members got their first real look at what DCCI does and where it could take them as student builders under AWS Student Builder Group PUP.
GDGPUP Cloud Solutions Onboarding
Welcome to Cloud Nine: Where Innovation Takes Flight
GDG on Campus PUP's Cloud Solutions Onboarding was a multi-speaker virtual kickoff on Google Meet, and I opened the keynote with a question disguised as a story: suppose you're a great cook and you want to start selling your food. That analogy — the kitchen, the ingredients, the scale problem — became the entry point into what Google Cloud Platform actually is and why it exists.
