👋 Hi, I'm Thomas Zwinger!
I just got my Google Cloud Platform: Professional Cloud Architect certification in April 2025.
This certification has an average salary of $190k (source), while I don't require that for my next postition. I do ask that companies are open and honest about what I will be working on. As I'd like it to be very interesting and challenging.
For the rest of my bio I asked ChatGPT to make a profile README for me based on what it has learned. Like with most things, it's about 85% accurate, so let me know if you can pick out the falsehoods.
