Think you need to be an expert before you graduate? Software Engineer Abena says otherwise. “Being a student is the time to try as many things as possible and to ask questions,” she says. “Your experiences are what will set you apart. Both your successes and failures will bring unique perspectives to what you do in the future.” Her key takeaway? Focus on asking questions and building a broad range of experiences. Abena, now working on Colossus, our distributed file system, focuses on reliability and performance at scale. Her favorite part of the job is how her team collaborates to solve massive, real-world challenges. “No problem is too big for us, and I learn something new every day,” she says. “It’s rewarding to know that what I do can improve the lives of people around the world.” Interested in a career like Abena’s?
