Connector Spotlight: Chris Kim

Not only is she often characterized as among the best and brightest - Chris Kim, Talent Acquisition Coordinator here at Connected, also has an undeniable knack for attracting the same. With a background stronger than steel but a soft spot for diversity, equity, and inclusion, Chris always brings her humble, honest, and hilarious self to everything she does. Just don't ask her how her favourite basketball team did in the playoffs.

Connector Flashlight: Hassaan Abbasi

Connector Spotlight is a series where we shine a metaphorical light on Connectors to learn more about who they are, what they do, and what they like. While we have no shortage of star power to satisfy the series (just shy of 3 years worth, by my count), we also have some incredible interns who work here, too. And while it may not be a spotlight, we'd like to illuminate one intern in particular with a brand new, intern-centric series entitled Connector Flashlight. Easy-going, insatiably curious, and we'll never forget your face when you found out what Project Rhubarb REALY was. Hassaan, we'll miss you, but have little doubt you're on your way to doing great things.

Good friends, cold beer and plenty of laughter, this laidback Brazilian ex-pat prefers the simple things in life; which means when he’s not learning Android from the inside out, you’ll likely find him sprawled on a comfy couch, contemplating the most fitting mantra for the moment.

2020 Voice Forecast: Wake Conditions

Conversation designers carefully craft voice interactions to feel as natural as possible, yet we’re still tied to the feasibility restrictions of mandatory device wake words, rendering all interactions fundamentally, well, robotic.
