How Vienna Escaped the Cubicle.

Vienna Teng attended Stanford, in pre-med first, then graduated in Computer Science. After Stanford, she worked for Cisco as a programmer for two years, and then quit the job at the age of 24 to pursue her passion in music.

I remember brainstorming how we will create this structure, the fundamental patterns for this program we’re making. And there are certain modules that take care of certain aspects, and they plug into other modules. Songs are like that to an extent. You have to take certain things that logically lead into other things, but they have to be able to connect back to something else. It is definitely a stretch to call song writing very similar to programming, but I would say that the same neurons get used in your thought process.

Wonderful woman.
