Something cool you’ve worked on recently: We’re in the midst of our recruiting season, I love learning about the diverse candidates and chatting with them about their unique experiences.
What inspires you about technology? I find it exciting and inspiring that one day technology will be within the reach of every human being, in every country. My hope is that this will provide equal opportunities for citizens around the globe.
What is one problem you’d like to see technology solve? Grocery shopping! I would love for technology to be able to complete all aspects of grocery shopping for me – order based on my preferences, select items to make meals throughout the week and even pick out a new beer or wine I might like. Of course, this would also include delivery.
