“We firmly believe in diversity in tech so we want to take this opportunity to show that you can be successful in many ways being a woman in Tech. Our colleague Julia is a great example of this and we value her input very much within the outside the company as a person. Also in our bootcamps we would like to have an balanced and equal amount of all genders.”

About
”I don’t even remember my childhood room without a computer. I consider myself as a technology enthusiast who started my career as an architect. At only 21 years old I designed a facade that will for many years to come be a part of the Stockholm city skyline. Even though I was climbing the ladder at rocket speed, I decided to question myself to finally come to an understanding that I needed to fulfill my passion within technology. Today, by being a Head Instructor, I’m responsible for others that did the same career (life) change as I did. ”
What or Who inspired you to pursue your chosen career?
“Technology and inventions inspired me to pursue my career. The thought of human beings being able to assemble the societies that we live in is extraordinary. All the great inventions are still hard to grasp, and I wanted to be one of those who actually make a change in their daily lives by being a part of these inventions.”
