Reflecting on My Journey
As a Women in Tech Global Awards 2025 winner, what does this recognition mean to you, and how does it reflect your journey and impact in tech?
Winning the Women in Tech Global Award is truly an honour. It reflects my journey from building strong foundations as a Java full-stack engineer with deep experience in microservices and Oracle PL/SQL to now actively exploring and experimenting with Generative AI and Agentic AI. This recognition represents years of consistency—delivering solutions, sharing knowledge, and continuously pushing myself to learn what’s next. It motivates me to keep growing and contributing to the global tech community.
Tech Industry's Most Rewarding Aspects
In your experience, what is the most rewarding aspect of working in the tech industry, and how has it influenced your career path?
The most rewarding part of tech is its constant evolution. I started my career working deeply with Java, JSP, Freemarker, and PL/SQL, then moved into modern UI technologies, microservices, and REST APIs. As the industry evolved, I naturally grew into exploring emerging areas like Generative AI and Agentic AI. Tech gives you the freedom to reinvent yourself at every stage, and that freedom has shaped my journey. It also helps me develop my logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Every new skill I learn—or share with others—reinforces my purpose and keeps me excited about what’s possible next.
My Tech Career Milestone
Could you share a defining moment or a key achievement in your tech career that has been particularly impactful or meaningful to you?
A defining moment in my career was being honoured with the Star of the Year Award in 2008 from Birlasoft, followed by multiple recognitions at GE, including the prestigious CIO Awards. One of the most memorable acknowledgments was when the Capital CIO personally sent me a handwritten appreciation card for a business-critical solution I delivered. These early recognitions reinforced my belief in the power of delivering impactful solutions.
Later, presenting my paper on digital technologies and online learning at a national seminar conducted at an educational institution, beginning to explore Generative AI and Agentic AI, speaking to large groups on microservices, and being recognised with the Women in Tech Global Award 2025, further reinforced the value of continuous learning, knowledge-sharing, and making a meaningful impact in the tech community.
