Session: The Art of Being Shameless: Demystifying Software Engineering as a Woman
In tech, especially as women, we’re often taught to stay humble, play safe, and wait to be recognized. But growth in software engineering comes from curiosity, courage — and a little shamelessness. In this talk, I’ll share my journey from doubting my voice to leading projects at PlayStation, mentoring others, and helping women break through the “invisibility barrier” in engineering. Attendees will walk away with concrete strategies to self-advocate, demystify complex tech domains, and claim their space — unapologetically.Key Takeaways
- Confidence in Your Voice: Learn practical strategies to advocate for your ideas and contributions without hesitation. Breaking Barriers: Understand common challenges women and underrepresented individuals face in tech and how to navigate them effectively
