When Sarah Sharp was in first grade, she had trouble reading and was enrolled in an extra speech class. By fifth grade, she had become a "big bookworm" and was teaching algebra to her second-grade sister.
Sharp's path took her from a childhood in Rainer, Ore. to Portland State, where she was among a handful of women enrolled in the computer engineering program.
After graduating from Portland State in 2007, Sharp was hired by Intel as a software engineer.
Her latest project is working as the Linux representative on a new USB 3.0 file transfer system project, working with giants in the open source software community to shape the future.
