We talk a lot about our experiences as womxn in tech, but have you ever wondered what we really work on? This episode, the spotlight is on Sophia, who works as a product manager for the HoloLens and Remote Assist at Microsoft, and Da Eun gets to ask her some of the nitty gritty questions behind:

  • the differences between virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality,
  • the challenges of being a product manager on an enterprise product,
  • and what's been most surprising and fulfilling about her work during this time of COVID-19 (spoiler alert: she never thought her product could be used by doctors to help them conserve the use of PPE and still effectively diagnose patients!)

Sophia, you are an inspiration to many others out there, and we hope you continue to find fulfillment in your work and are recognized for it!
