Happy 2022! In this week's episode, I chat with software engineer Furaha Damién. He talks about how he got into this field, how to land an internship as a computer science major, and what he does as a software engineer at Microsoft.
Furaha is of Burundian descent but spent a large portion of his childhood in a refugee camp in Malawi. He recently graduated from McGill University in Montreal, QC, Canada, as a double major in computer science and biology and is currently employed at Microsoft in Seattle, WA, USA. Information on how you can connect with him is on his website: furahadamien.com.
