In this episode, I sit down and speak with Jared Katzman, a software engineer in Amazon’s Artificial Intelligence team. Jared tells us about their experience as a non-binary person in one of the fastest growing and most quickly evolving spaces in the tech scene. They spell out the day-to-day realities as someone who's choosing to live their authentic life in the come-as-you-are atmosphere that tech companies advertise. Jared then shares their thoughts on how we should be recruiting and including queer talent in the tech industry, and educates me on the parallels between technology and social justice. I hope you enjoy our conversation and feel inspired to progress queer dialogues around you. Stay active & stay queer!
