#260 Sev Huffmann between development at Microsoft and Deaf Culture

Sev placed the start of her journey back in China as a child passionate about maths and logic. She then described how she struggled to find her way through education after losing her hearing. She talked about how she could go to the USA and study Information Technology at Gallaudet University. She then spoke about the Microsoft Explorer Program, which allowed her to dip her toes into software development and realize she was unprepared for more. We discussed how she enrolled in a Computer Science Master's degree at Washington State University and how different her curricular and extracurricular experience was compared to Gallaudet's. We finally talked about her returning to Microsoft, being part of a team, how teamwork makes diversity, working on Loop, and the future of collaboration.
