Kriti Sharma is currently working on an AI system to help report domestic abuse. What do you do when you're a 14-year-old who wants a computer but doesn't have one? Kriti Sharma did what seemed obvious: she devoured tech tomes and built herself one. The 30-year-old is a problem solver. Problem No. 1 on her list right now is sexism in tech.

What do you do when you're a 14-year-old who wants a computer but doesn't have one? Most of us would beg and plead with parents, the more industrious among us may attempt to save up money, but Kriti Sharma did what seemed obvious to her: she devoured tech tomes and built herself one. The 30-year-old is essentially a problem solver. Problem No 1 on her list right now is sexism in tech. Frustrated by the reinforcement of sexist ideas by bots, she created Pegg, a gender-neutral personal finance assistant.
