Background, skills, interests
I'm Hadiya, a software developer, problem-solver, and a lifelong learner.
I'm interested in the future of AI and mixed reality, the changing ways we interface with technology, and how we can pivot technology towards goodness and giving back.
I currently work in Seattle on Microsoft Teams, helping people work together... even from far away. Previously, I worked at Benevity, and got my BS Computer Science at the University of Calgary.
Things I like: coding, fiction, origami, writing (or is it just venting?), volunteering, gardening, theatre, standup comedy, and spending too long making silly websites, ahem, stories.
