quite positive attitude.. TPM is not an easy role, you have to gain your seat, not being assigned at the beginning. lots of variables have to be considered e.g. XFN partners are welcome to TPM role.. due to quite an overlap between pm/em/tpm

This TPM felt like a breeze of a fresh air, got so much inspired by her. Though I wanted to ask how can she write a code when she is not from eng background?
