Rosie Perera was an early software design engineer at Microsoft, joining the company in 1985 and staying there for more than a decade, where she worked on Microsoft Word for Windows and Microsoft Money. Features she created are still used by millions of people every day. Rosie shares her fond memories of the creative atmosphere, working on a corporate campus, the culture during the company’s early days, excitement around Microsoft’s IPO and more.
