This summer (aka Australian winter) a new Cloud Region was announced in Australia and today Francesc and Mark talk to two Australian engineers, Andrew Walker founder of 3wks and Graham Polley, about how this new region has changed the way they think about the cloud down under.

Andrew is the founder of 3wks who have delivered 190 projects on Google Cloud platform for enterprise customers in Australia.

He loves everything serverless, from App Engine through to BigQuery.

Graham is a senior software engineer based out of Melbourne Australia, and works for Shine Solutions. Shine are a enterprise digital consultancy with offices in Melbourne & Sydney.

Being an official Google Developer Expert, he's passionate about promoting the adoption of cloud technologies into software development, and regularly blogs and gives presentations. He has extensive experience in building big data solutions for clients using the Google technology stack, and in particular with BigQuery & Dataflow. Graham works very closely with the Google cloud engineering teams in the US, where he is a member of their cloud platform trusted tester program, and the solutions he helps build are used as internal exemplars of developer use cases.
