~~> Sophia is a bad influence. She spent her time going to events and meet-ups to convince other people to take risk and start an engineering career instead of staying put at their 9-to-5-boring-stable-paythebills-sort-of-job. Not only that, she lures people into buying #RubberDuck and #BugSpay at her local Steam and earns a commission on each Stack(Overflow). She is an obsessive advocate of women empowerment by showing her female peers #WonderWoman movie, inviting them to #GirlDevelopIt workshops, and challenging them to #CodeLikeAGirl.~~> Her friends said she is very cheap because she often gives them free open source projects on GitHub, free online classes at Udacity, free articles on Hacker News, and free leadership and education TED talks by famous speakers such as Simon Sinek and Rita Pierson. In her "free" time, she enjoys watching other developers code on DevStreamTV, attending this.JavaScript seminars via HangoutOnAir, studying with an invisible bot on Slack, and pondering about the importance of physical human interaction in a cloud computing world. ~~> Last but not least, she's a member of Mean Girls and will not help her friends unless they give her ice cream or popcorn chicken. She's definitely worth checking out though because someone that bad is kind of a rare find. ~~> As a side note: Sophia recently won the 2018 Grow With Google - Developer Challenge Scholarship, and she's on her way to become a Software Engineer.
