How's it going? My name is Adrian, and I'm

a customer engineer at Google.

A customer engineer at Google is the bridge between

the technical and business components

or aspects of corporate America.

We help customers leverage

our technology to meet their business needs.

One of the most exciting

projects and even interesting that I

worked on was creating a unified patient record.

This project was for a lab diagnostics company that was

really looking into creating a 360 view of a patient.

Our project focused on consolidating

information across different systems.

You can imagine taking

your lab diagnostics data for

your most recent routine blood work,

or even something that's a little bit more specific.

Diabetes or a glucagon test,

taking that and all that information that you've

provided in terms of biological data,

getting that centralized and standardized on

one environment so that if it is

your physician looking at the data or

your radiologists or nutritionist,

they have a complete view of all of your data,

and they can not only just access it,

but they can visualize it in real time.

One of the key components of this project was the use

of virtual reality headsets

as the main visualization component.

For me, what this meant was,

I got the ability to do some game design,

create some human skins in terms of the body,

and use different colors and programming functionality to

indicate for example the system is looking

healthy or if it's looking like

it needs concern or intervention.

We can see over time how

the diagnostic test results have

changed and the impact that this has on our patients.

At the end of the day, what we had was

a project that unified all of the data for

the patient and gave the key

medical professionals a way to visualize it.

The best piece of advice that I have for

you is to remain confident in yourself.

While you might be new to

this new role or this new company,

you're coming with skills that

are repeatable, that are transferable.

Whether it'd be the way that you

approach and problem solve,

whether it'd be the rapport you're able to

build with your stakeholders and

the soft skills and ensuring that

you can build those relationships or

even when it comes to communication and writing

a succinct and concise email.

They're going to be ways where

you're going to take what you've done

before and apply them in your new role.

You might have to think outside of the box,

but you'll get there.
