A Day in Life of a WFH Cloud Developer: a webinar talk show with Trisha Kay Manuel (DevOps Engineer) and Josef Monje (Ops Engineer)
Have you ever wondered what a typical day looks like for a Cloud Developer?
WHAT:A Day in a Life of A WFH Cloud Developer is a webinar talk show which is a collaboration between PythonPH and AWSUGPH. It’s kind of like a spinoff of “A Day in a Life of a WFH Pythonista” but instead of just interviewing Pythonistas, we’re interviewing people who use both Python and AWS.
The goal of this webinar is to give people in the community an insight of what a typical work day looks like for these professionals. Hopefully, this would also serve as an inspiration and give a sense of community especially for most who are working from home.
This is a very special and exciting episode because we’re interviewing not just 1 but 2 Cloud Developers!
In this episode, we will be interviewing Trisha Kay Manuel (DevOps Engineer) and Josef Monje (Ops Engineer):
Trisha is currently a DevOps Engineer at Dyson. She graduated from Mapua University with a degree in ECE. She’s had a passion for coding in Python since she started her career as a Backend Engineer at Complete Business Online. It’s where she learned how to build web APIs, automate scripts, and got exposed to AWS. She’s also a proud mother of 1.
Josef is an Engineer at Xoxzo, Japan where he handles Operations. He has been using Python for 6 years and AWS for 11 years. He has been working from home for 3 years and a working student from home until recently. He graduated from Ateneo de Manila University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Asian Institute of Management for his Master of Science in Data Science. His hobbies include building Raspberry Pi gadgets and keeping up-to-date with developments in the crypto and AI space.

He is passionate in software engineering, data engineering, and data science. More importantly, he loves Python and uses it every single day at work. When there’s any time left to burn Kan likes to improve his skills by taking some courses or contributing to some open-source projects.

A Day in Life of a WFH Pythonista Ep#9: a webinar talk show with Almond Rose Obedoza and Marte Soliza, Makers and Problem-solvers
WHAT:A Day in a Life of a WFH Pythonista is a monthly virtual webinar talk show series where we interview Pythonistas representing various roles (Developer, CTO, Data Scientist, QA, Network Engineer, Scientist, Educator, Student, etc.) to give people in the community an insight of what a typical workday looks like for these various roles.

In this episode, we will be interviewing Makers and Problem-solvers – Almond Rose Obedoza (Tech Enthusiast) and Marte Soliza (co-founder and ex-CTO of Insync)
Almond Rose Obedoza is an avid tech enthusiast and an advocate of teaching kids how to code at an early age. Middle school student Mona Obedoza enjoys imagining the many possibilities of our world’s future and how technology can positively shape the lives of those around her. However, when she isn’t participating in hackathons, delivering speeches at tech conferences, or hosting programming workshops for kids, she can often be found curled up with a book while listening to Japanese music – or experimenting with her laptop’s settings while desperately hoping that it won’t suddenly crash. You can learn more about her at https://sunshinebunnysoftware.tech
Marte Soliza is the co-founder and ex-CTO of Insync. He has more than a decade of experience in Python and his favorite part about the language is how you can adjust the level of abstraction you use depending on your purpose. He’s currently a consultant (https://talaksan.com) trying to solve different problems for different people. He’s also helping improve computer science education in the country through the National Olympiad in Informatics (https://noi.ph). He misses traveling and rock climbing outdoors.
