#CodingIcon: Amy Wibowo - Coding Like a Girl
#CodingIcon is a mini-series from Jewelbots highlighting the amazing women building the things we use everyday.
Equipped with a computer and bubble gun, Amy Wibowo, aka Sailor Hg, lives her life in pastel dresses and travels on a mint-green bicycle. But don't let the playful exterior fool you, this girl is a force.
Amy graduated from MIT with a grad degree in computer science, and later went on to work as part of Airbnb's developer team for three years. Prior to that, she did machine learning research at the Honda Research Institute in Japan.
Now, after a very successful Kickstarter, she works full time on her Bubble Sort Zines, which helps make STEM more accessible for girls.
