“Ever since I discovered computer science in high school, I’ve dreamed of working at Google,” says Teo, a London-based software engineer on Google Drive. “I always wanted to build products that impact people globally every single day, and Google felt like the perfect place to do that. I was drawn to the commitment to innovation, creativity, and a healthy disregard for the impossible.”
Now, Teo works in Drive’s Generative AI space, developing features like in-context summaries and content-based nudges. “It's a very fast-moving environment, but working with cutting-edge technology to launch features that will completely shift how users interact with Drive is very exciting.”
Teo’s advice for students seeking a similar path? “I encourage students to view their university years as a period for experimentation and discovery. Instead of focusing solely on academics, I recommend using this time to build a diverse toolkit. Exploring a variety of roles, technologies, and locations through different internships will help you gain a deeper understanding of what truly motivates you.”
