Welcome to the Coden to be podcast, we talk to people on their coding journey in hopes of helping you on yours.

I'm your host, Suran, and today we're talking about spatial computing with April Spade, cloud advocate for spatial computing at Microsoft.

I feel like it's inevitable to be a little bit of hopping around when you're first starting,

especially if you don't have someone there to hold your hand.

And for me, I was literally treading in brand new water.

April talks about moving from fashion to development, what spatial computing is,

and her personal curriculum to learn what she needed to in order to make the switch

from project management to the world of extended reality. After this.

Oh, that's my prime delivery.

Huh, already?

Only one thing can match the buzz of Primes fast delivery. And that's the buzz of Prime's entertainment. What are we watching? Heads of State. That new action comedy with Idris Elber as the Prime Minister, John Sina as the President, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas as their only hope. It looks like a blast. From fast delivery to explosive entertainment, it's prime for only 899 a month join now content

thanks so much for being here oh no problem thanks for having me how are you i'm doing very well good to reconnect

after eight years yes we knew each other back in college. This is very

exciting. So I love your story, April, because it's so fascinating. You've done so many things and you've

been a part of many different industries. So I want to talk about life before Microsoft where you were

actually in the luxury fashion industry for six years. How did you get into fashion?

Yeah. So, you know, when we were in college, I needed a job. So that's how I started working in

fashion. And it was one of those things where I didn't get a chance to work throughout high school.

My mom wouldn't let me.

And so when I got to college, it then flipped and I had to get a job if I wanted to go shopping

and hang out and so on and so forth. So I ended up getting a job in retail at Juicy Couture.
