Y the founder of a robotics company - Invento [Humanoid robots for customer
interaction] with a goal to be a pioneer in the emerging field of AI enabled

then to be hired directly as a developer into the core Windows team.
He was not very successful though and known more for his writing than his
development skills.(this will help you to crack the ques.)
