Top SchoolBrooke Cheng is a software engineering generalist and entrepreneur with a decade of experience building widely used web and cloud features at Microsoft and now co-founding Talk2Me, a mobile language-teaching startup. At Microsoft she led full-stack incubation projects across Teams and Office, drove DevOps and backend initiatives, and shipped shared web packages that improved performance, accessibility, and theming across Outlook, Office.com, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
