“As you long as you believe you have passion towards something, that is good enough if you're starting a career. Get a job with whatever skillsets you have and then make sure that you are following this passion… There's no way around self-learning-- the whole point is how do you get there? "

“I think that diversity is super helpful... and for the individual, what I always try to tell people on my team, and what I try to hire for as well, is I try to figure out what is their superpower that they're bringing in? The best interview you can do is be able to say ‘Here is something cool I've done in the past, and here's why I'm going to do it for you in your company, and this is why you want me to be the one doing it.’”
