Another episode of “Filipinos in Tech.” This time I interview Al Domingo, senior director of solutions engineering, Americas Strategic at Confluent (and a long time friend). Al and I share a love of real-time data and music (guitars specifically) but we also share pride in our heritage as Filipinos.
We also reflect on our experiences as Filipinos in the tech industry. We discuss the cultural expectations placed on Filipinos to pursue careers in healthcare and the challenges of being one of the few Filipinos in his workplace. Al also shares his fascination with open-source technology and his time at companies like Confluent and Cloudera. This episode highlights the importance of pursuing one's passions and the impact of cultural influences on career choices. Our time at Cloudera emphasizes the supportive learning environment and the unique perspective of working for an open-source company.
We discuss the strong Filipino community we encountered at Cloudera, showcasing the impact the company had on our careers and personal connections. The episode concludes with a plan to further explore the experiences of younger Filipinos in the tech industry and encourage more recognition and representation in the field.
