Carolyn Napier: Developing for Windows and Playing Pro Football

[NewsBot]

Carolyn Napier is a 9 year Microsoft veteran and she’s actually one of the truly technical women we’ve interviewed on WM_IN in a while (a former programmer she’s now a principal development lead on the Windows Application Platform team within the Core Operating System Division), but watch the whole interview and towards the end you’ll get the real scoop on Carolyn which really excited both Charles and Ritzy:* Carolyn is a PROFESSIONAL football player!!* Carolyn’s a member of The Seattle Majestics, the local women’s professional football team where she plays a rover on defense and a wide receiver on offense.* This isn’t flag football, this is serious hardcore tackle football that is played with NFL’s regular rules (yes, she has a lot of bruises!).* And guess what?* As an athlete, there are many analogies Carolyn can draw between things that happen on the job and things that happen on the field.* Go number 29!
