𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗜/𝗢 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻: 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱! Google I/O Connect Berlin was an amazing experience, and I’m still filled with excitement from the conference: it was an absolute game-changer. I dove headfirst into the latest advancements from Google, and let me tell you, the future is looking incredible! 🤯 The sessions were mind-blowing, covering a wide range of topics like AI, cloud computing, the future of app development, and — how could it miss — web performance! I was particularly impressed by the AI: 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝟮 seems incredible, and its usage during the coding phase will change everything. For the web, in particular, we now have great support directly through the Chrome Dev Tools: 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗼 is here! But that’s not all! One of the most crowded corners was the one dedicated to the 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀: Gilberto Cocchi and Barry Pollard's demonstrations were greatly appreciated, and many people were enthusiastic to see the rules in action. Amazing job, guys!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 But it wasn’t just the tech that made this trip amazing. I met the most incredible community from all over Europe! We shared ideas and created connections that will last. This conference was more than just learning – it was an inspiration. I left feeling fired up and ready to take everything I learned and turn it into something amazing. Stay tuned, because I have some big things in the works for EssilorLuxottica e-commerce websites 😎 #GoogleIO #IOConnect #Berlin #AI #DeveloperCommunity #Innovation #FutureIsHere #SpeculationRules #GeminiNano #ChromeDevTools #WebPerformance #inspirational

🚀 Thrilled to Announce Our Victory at the Google AI Hackathon! 🚀 I’m beyond excited to share that I recently participated in the Google AI Hackathon , where I teamed up with incredible minds from around the globe. Together, we created SparkAI, a game-changing product that transforms user ideas into dynamic content across various platforms. Imagine this: you have a spark of an idea, and with SparkAI, that idea morphs into a fully-fledged article, engaging post, or captivating short video. The theme of the hackathon was to harness Google’s GEMINI and AI tools, combined with low-code platforms, to bring innovative concepts to life. We embraced this challenge head-on, using BuildShip for the backend and FlutterFlow for the frontend. It was a whirlwind of reading documentation and watching tutorials, but we thrived under pressure. I’m incredibly grateful for my phenomenal team: Sidhu Di, Dhyey Bhaiya, , , Godfred Awu and Hari Bhaiya. Special shoutout to and for their relentless dedication, staying online despite different time zones, and teaching me so much along the way. All our sleepless nights and hard work paid off—WE WON! 🏆 We clinched the "Most Impressive Low-Code Implementation" award, securing a $5000 cash prize and an exclusive opportunity to meet the Google Labs team for official recognition. This journey has been nothing short of electrifying, and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together. Here’s to many more innovations and victories! #Gemini #Innovation #LowCode #WinningTeam #ProudMoment #AI #Teamwork #TechVictory #Google #Hackathon #AIProjects #GlobalCompetition #InnovationRecognition #GoogleIO #ArtificialIntelligence #TeamSuccess #HackathonExperience #TechCommunity #FutureOfAI 🌐

Big Tech's (defined as Apple+ Microsoft+ Google+ Meta) aggregate FCF-SBC was +50% YoY in 3Q'23. Admittedly, it was a bit of an easy comp, but compared to 3Q'21, it was still +15%. Interesting to see how Meta has been gaining its lost ground in big tech profit pool mix this year.

Learning to create applications using Kotlin and jet-pack compose was an eye-opener, unveiling new horizons in app development. Another intriguing session on "GEN Ai and LLM"was led by Jay Thakkar, where we delved into the world of AI applications that are trending and how they can significantly boost our productivity in various work domains.
