A message from Isabelle

Being a software engineer has a reputation of being solitary or just writing code all day but I actually spend a significant amount of time pair programming and having technical discussions with other people. There’s a lot of creativity in coming up with new approaches to solve problems, which a lot of people don’t expect for this field.

Valuable skill she regularly uses

I lean on system design skills that I’ve learned and developed in my professional career. Through technical discussions with other engineers about how software services communicate and run together, I’ve continued to learn and see other people’s perspectives.
