People | Microsoft New England Research & Development Center

My name is Tejbir Singh. I work as a software test engineer on the Interactive Supercomputing team here at Microsoft.

Why Microsoft Cambridge?
When I started my career five years ago, I started here in Kendall Square. You see very smart, creative people working in this area because this is the area that’s known for innovation, creativity. A lot of people who are interested in technology come to work in this area.
What is your favorite feature about the new Cambridge campus?
One thing I really, really enjoy about this place is the fact that they host different technical seminars or meet-up groups, which gives us the employees the opportunity to attend these events, and to network with other people with similar interests. You have MIT and Harvard down the street. So this area normally attracts quality, smart people. That’s one thing I like, the locale of the campus.
Favorite local haunt?
It’s Café Rustica here in Somerville, which is close by. They have wireless and you can just do your work, or just relax and have a casual conversation with a friend. So that’s what I really like, and it’s not too far away from this campus.
If you could be any type of animal, what would you be? Why?
I think being a bird would be really cool, because it’s kind of like when you ride in an airplane. You get to see the world from a different view. If I were a bird, I’d get to see the world from that view.
