blog post: interview with MZ

[reshamas]

Instructions for posting the interview:

• copy one of the previous ones, such as: https://github.com/scikit-learn/blog/blob/main/_posts/2022-05-22-norbert-interview.md
• For authors, let's put "Reshama Shaikh, Meekail Zain"
• In top line, can include "Posted by xxx"
• I have highlighted some text in blue, which we do want highlighted in the blog.
  Here is an example of code to highlight:

>*<span style="background-color: #CAE9F5;">
What is the effectiveness of sprint models and what is the long-term engagement as a result of these sprints?
</span>*

Reminders:

• let's check that the words in italics get copied over
• we'll need to create a social media card

Unfortunately, we don't have Netlify set up for this, so we may need to make updates after the blog PR is accepted.

@SangamSwadiK Can we update Q2 response?

2. How did you first get involved in open source?
   I first got involved as a user, as most people do. NumPy was a recurring day-to-day library for me, and scikit-learn was a de-facto necessity for several graduate courses. Originally I never really imagined being able to get to a point where I could affect change in these libraries since they seemed so well-established!

There are a few words with the italics missing. Let me know if you can double check the raw interview and make those updates. I highlighted them in yellow in the document, so they are more easily visible, hopefully that helps?

Thanks !
I incorporated the changes and raised another PR.
However I'm facing a weird issue, that I've mentioned in the PR. Please let me know if you have faced that issue before as it is preventing me from running the server and looking at changes.

Based on the raw doc file, Meekhail intended for the last sentence here to be its own line, rather than a bullet point.

- Aside from expertise, are there other socio-economic or general demographics that exhibit consistent bottlenecks? (e.g. access to hardware)
- How do we create informed and effective DEI policies from this information?

OSS projects thrive and prosper based on their community, so I would love to see more systematic research on community needs and pain points.

Can we make that fix? It likely needs a blank line before the "OSS projects thrive...." text.
