I'm an engineer. I'm a techie, really.
People ask me all the time: 'What is it like to be a woman at Google?' I'm not a woman at Google, I'm a geek at Google. And being a geek is just great. I'm a geek, I like to code, I even like to use spreadsheets when I cook.
I use a computer. I don't know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I'm pretty good on the computer.
I'm an iPod person.
I love Silicon Valley, but there is a dominant voice of, 'Tech is cool. Tech is geeky. Tech is a guy with a hoodie.'
You absolutely cannot be big time tech guy without attending Burning Man.
With most tech guys, it's the same outfit every day - they wear their company logo.
I want to be the poster girl for engineers and computer nerds.
The iPad - is that a phone or a computer? If I put it on my wall is it a TV?
I love challenging the notion that, in order to be a tech founder, you have to be holed up in a dark room wearing a T-shirt and baggy jeans.
