Victoria Wu, Software Engineer, Microsoft
I studied compsci at Queen's and graduated in 2020, but had no idea what the tech industry was like for most of my undergrad. Through QWIC and other clubs (QWIC 2020 co-chair here!), I was able to learn more and get exposed to different companies and different positions. I finally landed on being a software engineer at Microsoft, and started working on Azure Compute, a distributed cloud platform (I knew nothing about distributed cloud platforms). Throughout my time at Microsoft, I've continued to mentor interns and other new employees, cause this industry is so broad and you can always be learning so much.
Goals for the program: I would love to meet someone and just help them discover their career path in tech! I had a million different things I wanted to do before I decided to become a software engineer, so I want to help people know their options, and how to succeed in whatever field they decide (industry, academia, or anything else)
