    Algorithms & Algorhymes, Inventing the Spanning Tree Protocol, and The Passion for Storytelling with Radia Perlman

    In this episode, our host, Mariana Carvalho, sits down with Radia Perlman, a fellow at Dell Technologies, author, trailblazer, and inspiring engineer. Radia is the inventor of the Spanning Tree Protocol and has over a hundred issued patents. They discussed the evolution of her career, from her early interest in math to her groundbreaking work in computer networking and security. The conversation also covers Radia’s unique approach to problem-solving, which involves simplifying complex issues to find elegant and simple solutions, her take on relationships and marriage, and advice to young engineers. “Sometimes the most valuable thing you can bring is ignorance, meaning that people who are in a field for a while make assumptions that they've been living with for so long they can't think outside the box. To bring somebody else in and be able to explain to them what the issue is in a way they can understand it without all of the jargon that you've lived in for years. Often, they can come up with some surprising insights that you wouldn't have thought of yourself.” - Radia Perlman Resources shared in this episode: Books:  Interconnections: Bridges, Routers, Switches, and Internetworking Protocols, by Radia Perlman: https://amzn.to/4iIHs46.

    Technology Culture, Building Inclusive Teams, and The Power of Showing Up with Telle Whitney

    In this episode, our host, Mariana Carvalho, sits down with Telle Whitney, co-founder of the Grace Hopper Celebration and CEO of Telle Whitney Consulting. They discussed the existing culture within the technology industry, and Telle’s insights offer a nuanced perspective on how this culture has evolved and the areas where further progress is needed. She talks about the importance of treating non-profit organizations as businesses, how to create an inclusive environment for people from all backgrounds, and what companies should do to develop women in technical roles.  “In my experience, women often choose jobs where they feel like they can have an impact. I think it’s not the only criterion, but it is important to many of the women I know that not only can they contribute to changing the face of technology, but they can have an impact on the world. Those two go hand in hand for many people, including me.” - Telle Whitney Resources shared in this episode: Book: Rebooting Tech Culture: How to Ignite Innovation and Build Organizations Where Everyone Can Thrive, by Telle Whitney.
