Chiu-Ki Chan is an Android developer with a passion in speaking and teaching. She has spoken at numerous conferences all over the world, and has been recognized as a Google Developer Expert for her extensive knowledge in Android. She is the co-creator of the public speaking newsletter Technically Speaking (http://www.techspeak.email), and hopes to make the tech industry a better place by encouraging more underrepresented minorities to speak and be visible.
There are lots of advice on how to survive as an underrepresented minority in the tech industry, and I have adopted a few myself: delete "I think" from my emails, interrupt at meetings to get heard etc. While I have advanced my own career as a result, I wonder if I am doing a disservice by perpetuating the broken system. How do we balance playing the system for survival and changing the system itself?
