S1 E18 - Women in Tech
from The Ai Dev Craft Show Hosted by ng-conf
In this episode, Kseniya Lifanova from Upstate Interactive joins panelists Aaron Frost, Alyssa Nicoll, Brian Love, and Shai Reznik to share her insights on Women in Technology. Kseniya's background is in business and finance, and after about 7 years in accountancy and finance, she found her passion for technology. She attended an introduction to web development night-school and fell in love with building things. But, one of the first things she noticed in tech, was that it was mostly men. She decided to co-found a women-in-tech coding group in Syracuse, NY to teach other women about technology, coding, and the web. You might be wondering, why are there women-specific groups? Kseniya shares with us the intimidation that some women feel when attending events that are predominantly attended by men. She also shares how she wanted to learn with and be around other women. If you're an organizer for a meetup, event, conference, or other event, this episode is critical to listen to. Join us as we learn from Kseniya how we can lower barriers to entry, make women feel comfortable and invited, and lift up women in technology.
