Google Developer Groups on Campus Monash

From Uni Grad to Cloud Architect ☁️

Thank you to everyone who attended this session! It was great to see so many of you show up to learn more about building a career in Cloud & AI.

Our guest speaker, Derrick Qin, spoke about how AI is transforming software development, with much of today’s work requiring little to no code, and demonstrated this firsthand by building a website/web app from scratch using AI tools.

Thank you, Derrick, for such an insightful and practical session - your journey and demo left us with plenty to think about!

Stop settling for a generic profile and start owning your piece of the internet. 🏰✨

In this hands-on workshop, we’re ending "digital homelessness" by building, styling, and deploying your very own personal fortress. Forget another half-finished project gathering dust—you’ll leave with a personal website that showcases that you can build and deploy. 🛠️💻

Led by Zach Jensz, we’ll dive into Internet Real Estate 101, covering everything from core structure to deployment. Stick around afterward for a food and networking session to connect with fellow builders! 🍕🤝

📅 Date: Tuesday, 28th April 2026
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Imagine generating stunning AI images from text prompts, all powered by Kubernetes, accelerated by GPUs, and designed with the help of Gemini. 🚀✨

In this talk and live demo, we’re building a full AI Image Generator using Stable Diffusion XL on GKE. 🤖 See firsthand how Gemini supercharges productivity by assisting with Python, Docker, Streamlit, and YAML deployments. 🛠️💻

During the session, we’ll dive into scaling Stable Diffusion for real-time generation and explore how Gemini accelerates the entire dev-to-deployment lifecycle. ⚡ You’ll gain deep insights into GPU scheduling, autoscaling, and container management, all capped off with a live demo where we'll watch a “Kubestronaut riding a dragon” render in seconds! 🐉👨‍🚀

2025 is the year of agents, but what does that mean? Rather than spend time going over the theory, let's walk through the process of building an agent together! 🤖

You'll see how large language models, functions, and open source tools fit together to bring to life an agent over the course of the workshop. 🛠️

We'll build out an agent using Google's Gemini that starts simple and graduates to a multi-agent model, with different components managing and performing tasks. 🌐

You'll leave with a good idea of what you need to know to start building your own powerful agents. 🚀

Fun Perks:

🍔 Free food!

🎁 Google swag!

✅ Walk away with the know-how to start building your own powerful agents!
