‘Softie in Question: Qudsiah Khan

Job title: Software Development Engineer, Windows Web Services

Tell me about the path that brought you to Microsoft.
I was born in Lahore, Pakistan. I studied Computer Science there and then came to the US in 2005 to attend grad school in computer engineering at Purdue.

While completing graduate school, I interned at Google in Mountain View. I worked on the Google Toolbar team.

Did you intend to work for Google after graduation?
I enjoyed interning at Google, but I decided that I wanted to explore other bases and find something different. I wanted to go somewhere that had a lot of great projects to choose from.

I found the best blend of opportunities here at Microsoft.
