How I Got Selected as a Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning?

Google Developer Experts actively contribute and support the developer and startup ecosystems around the world, helping them build and launch highly innovative apps. GDE’s earn most of their salaries through private consulting work for large companies. A typical GDE earns $160,809 per year .

Being a GDE helps me to get the recognition which helped to share my thoughts with others easily . The best part is, I am still doing the same things that I was doing before being a GDE like giving talks, designing code labs, providing feedback, contributing to Open Source.
