Mary Adenola
Growing up, there wasn't a role model I could look to in terms of pursuing a career in Maths and Statistics and I wanted to give future generations of boys and girls someone to look up to so it was a contributing factor in my decision to study the subject. Now, that I have the knowledge, I take part in mentoring programmes in and out of university. Outside of University, I got the opportunity to take part in a presentation highlighting the need for diversity in the workplace to the heads of departments within Virgin Galactic in the US. As an Ambassador and Instructor for CodeFirstGirls, I have the opportunity to mentor females interested in python as well as find solutions to problems with a talented group of females around the world.

Hey, I'm Judi, a freelance software engineer based in Berlin, Germany.
I have 6 years of experience with full-stack development using technologies such as React or Vue on the frontend and Node.js or Golang on the backend.
After a few years of full-time employment, I have realized that working in tech is awesome but can also be quite stressful. Therefore, I am currently embarking on a self-employment adventure, hoping to find a calm and sustainable approach to working in tech.
