Engineer at Google Cloud · México

I love learning
out loud.

Hi, I'm Dani Za-mora (🫐). I build AI agents at Google Cloud, and my favorite way to learn something is to explain it to someone else. This page collects some of that: episodes, talks, notes and code from things I'm still figuring out.

Technology as a tool, not a threat

The oldest sister (out of three 'chamacos'). We're a super close, witty, and creative family. My biggest inspiration is my mom (the coolest graphic designer of them all). She started her career with 'by-hand' designing, but embraced the digital shift by befriending professors and software engineers to learn computer design and even early web development. Her example taught me about working smart and using technology as a tool, not a threat.

Inspired by her, I was tinkering with Photoshop and Illustrator by age 12. When Canva came out, for example, her reaction wasn't fear, but excitement: 'Oh myyyyy, so cool, will make my job so much easier!' That's the mindset she passed down, and it's how I see AI coding agents: not replacing developers, but making life easier, empowering creation, and lowering barriers for people like me diving in (with effort still needed!).
