๐ŸŒฑ Technical career paths๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Team happiness & productivity

Hi there! I'm Angela, a passionate software developer who loves to solve problems and help others along the way. With a heart full of compassion and a brain wired for tech, I aim to guide, support, and cheer on fellow devs, especially POC & womxn, as they navigate their journey in this ever-evolving world of software. I feel strongly about the topic of mental healthโ€”itโ€™s something we donโ€™t talk about enough in tech. Balancing a meaningful mission and a demanding career can take a toll on our well-being, and I know firsthand how tech can both support and disrupt mental health. Iโ€™d love to hear your thoughts and experiences as we learn and grow together, one bug fix at a time. Learning should be fun, not daunting, so expect lots of encouragement, positivity, and the occasional bad pun (oops). Whether you're wrestling with your first โ€œHello Worldโ€ or tackling more advanced projects, Iโ€™m here to navigate this journey with you!

I mentor because Iโ€™ve been on the other side. Early in my career, I often felt alone because I didnโ€™t quite fit in. But during that time, my mentors made a world of differenceโ€”they didnโ€™t just guide me in my work, they stood up for me and encouraged me to aim higher than I ever thought possible. Their belief in me pushed me to grow and showed me just how powerful mentorship can be. Now, I want to pay that forward and be that same source of support and encouragement for others.

Talk to me about

๐ŸŒฑ Technical career paths๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Team happiness & productivity

I'm a Senior Product Manager with a unique career trajectory that encompasses diverse roles and successful transition into Product Management from an unconventional background. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), but pivoted towards a Master's in Management Information Systems (MIS), blending analytical and managerial disciplines. My professional journey kicked off at Amazon as a Business Analyst, but my thirst for new challenges led me to transition into Program Management, where I honed my communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and process enhancement. However, my true passion reignited when I collaborated closely with Product Managers. Wrestling with imposter syndrome, I proactively embarked on pet projects that allowed me to delve into Product Management. Now, with 6+ years experience as a full-fledged Product Manager, I've never looked back. I'm an active participant in the Merit community as both a mentor and mentee. I firmly believe that every journey holds invaluable lessons to be shared. Whether you're charting a non-linear career path, navigating role shifts, or aiming to transition into Product Management from an unconventional background, I'm here to provide guidance, share insights, and help you overcome any doubts.

๐ŸŒฑ Technical career paths๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Team happiness & productivity

I am a software engineering coach passionated about the use of technology for social impact. After a completing my computer science studies in France, I spent 12 years at Google New York. I first worked as a software engineer and team lead on Google Maps and Google Web Search. Later I joined, as a founding member, the Google Crisis Response team to use technology to help people impacted by natural disasters. I am now coaching tech companies and startups in US, France, Kenya and Haiti to help them build their engineering culture and apply software engineering best practices to create better products and ship them faster.

Throughout my career, I benefited a lot from mentors: my university teachers, fellow coworkers at Google, or people I met through various tech events. So I want to be able to give back to people who one day will also give back by mentoring themselves. Mentoring is a 2 way interactions: when I mentor I alway learn something from my mentoring session .

I unfortunately never had a good mentor in my career and had to figure out everything on my own. I wish to share my knowledge with others so that they can avoid some of the mistakes I've made, and at the same time learn from others too.
