Why Symph, Sheen?

“My love for programming started with my high school computer science classes, and this is how I got into the tech industry. Developing mobile and web applications became my hobby. I applied for an internship at Symph, a company that aligned with my vision of creating solutions for real people, and now I’m a Full Stack Developer here.”

“As a Full Stack Developer at Symph, I decided to take the examination for Google Cloud Certified - Professional Cloud Developer, and I became the very first one in the company. Studying for this exam made me learn a mix of theory and practical applications where I played around with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services. I also took guided online courses to master my skills even more. Before getting the certification, I used GCP at work and in my projects.”

“My biggest takeaway is that the real-life impact of programs and software matters more than the technology behind it. I learned that tech comes second to solutions and that the focus is on solving problems rather than just writing code. As a Professional Cloud Developer, I realized that the cloud such as Google Cloud offers many tools to solve real-life problems and that these cloud platforms can be leveraged to multiply impact."
