Celebrating Women’s History Month

As Women's History Month unfolds, it's crucial to acknowledge the enduring legacy of women in technology, from the suffrage movement to the present day. While women still face underrepresentation in tech, progress is evident, with a rise in the percentage of women in IT professions. Pioneering figures like Grace Hopper, Katherine Johnson, and Hedy Lamarr paved the way for contemporary trailblazers like Sheryl Sandberg and Dr. Fei-Fei Li, who continue to drive progress and advocate for diversity in the industry. Their contributions inspire us to support initiatives that promote inclusivity and gender parity in tech, whether through mentorship, advocacy, or active participation in programs that empower women in STEM.

The why behind the blog

Starting this blog stems from a unique perspective as a woman in tech, aiming to address the distinct challenges faced, such as being the lone woman in a room and balancing the 24/7 tech culture with family responsibilities. While acknowledging that men in tech share some challenges, the focus is on providing tools for navigating situations that many women at a career level can relate to. As a woman in tech, the blog, titled "Work Life Chaos," explores the organized chaos of balancing work, life, and the pursuit of authenticity, with a touch of geekiness, humor, and discussions on hobbies, health, and career progression for a relatable journey.
