A Google Developer Expert (GDE) is a person recognized by Google Inc. as having exemplary expertise in one or more of their Google Developer products. GDEs are awarded through the Google Developer Experts program established and administered by Google. GDEs have a tenure of one year which can be extended through re-interview. A Google Developer Expert cannot be a Google employee whilst a member of the program. GDEs are not permitted to "make any statements on behalf of Google or any Google company" and be clear that any opinions are not those of Google.[1]

History

The Google Developer Experts program initially started in Japan as the Google Developer API Expert program.[2]. In July 2012 Google renamed it to Google Developers Expert program and making it available to developers around the world.[3]. In 2014 the official Google Developers Expert site started referring to the program as Google Developer Experts[4]
