What are you doing at Microsoft?
I am a software engineer and I started at Microsoft almost a year ago. I work on Azure DevOps.
What's the genesis for this talk?
This talk came out of a project that I did for a Microsoft hackathon this year. I partnered with the City of Seattle and Seattle Parks Foundation, a local non-profit, to build an app for them that will hopefully allow residents to engage with the city and Parks Foundation in a different way. I was very surprised to find out that Seattle has over 6,000 acres of parks just within the city limits. That is a lot! I've also interacted with many people who moved here from out of state who always commented on how much greenery there is here. Most of them gush about how close they live to a park!
