I began studying Computer Science at the age of 14, when I chose a specialized high school, even though I had no idea what a computer could do at the time. It was both fascinating and challenging, filled with algorithms and problem-solving, much like life itself. I enjoyed it enough to continue my studies at the Faculty of Computer Science, where I graduated in 2007.

Since then, I’ve taken on various roles, starting as a Web Programmer and evolving into leadership positions such as Team Lead, Test Manager, Product Owner, Scrum Master, Senior Manager, Group Lead, and now Director of Software Engineering. My career has taken me across industries, from Automotive and Banking to, since 2017, the Media industry, where I’ve been part of the TiVo journey, working with brilliant minds on innovative projects.

 My career journey has been an incredible ride, full of challenges, growth, and learning. I’d love to share a few key lessons from my experience,  as a woman in tech and leadership.
