I can proudly say that since January, I have become a Google Developer Expert for Android (GDE in short). The first -and at the moment only- one in Ireland.

Google Experts are a global network of experienced product strategists, designers, developers and marketing professionals actively supporting developers, startups and companies changing the world through web and mobile applications.

As part of the activities of the GDE program I spent some time at the Office Hours during Google I/O helping people and I also gave a 20 minutes talk in the sandbox about Playful Design (slides coming shortly).
