Doing something new requires drive and passion. I have always wanted to be part of the tech industry. It began for me with adapting to the swift environment, the steep learning curve, then striving for perfection. After giving my all, I believe programming is for those who are passionate about it, irrespective of gender.

To reach our full potential, we need support, guidance, an environment with trust and respect. I experienced this at Hipster, where people trust you, allow you to execute processes the way you envisioned, and respect each individuals' points of view. Hipster is a place for tech enthusiasts willing to try new things. It offers a broad range of support, programmes, and resources to advance women in technology, no matter where you are in your professional development. And if you ask me, amazing things can happen when one woman helps another.

Being a project manager, I see myself as the glue that holds everything together. My typical day would be filled with calls to ensure that projects run smoothly. I strive to be a humane and motivating project manager who can see multiple perspectives and handle projects logically and emotionally. It is not enough to understand the technical requirements; we often need to work well with people. I truly appreciate our developers. Despite working remotely and in a different time zone, we work closely to see projects through.

Coming from a financial background, going into the tech industry is a real eye-opener. The way I think is different where I stand on users' point of view to make any changes to enhance the user experience. If you want to enter the tech industry, have an open mind, expand your knowledge, and have fun while you are at it!
