Jodie Seabi

Jodie 's Story My very first encounter with coding was in high school. However at the time, I brushed it off as something that I could not be interested in as I did not believe that I was analytical enough to succeed. As I’ve become surrounded by more and more women moving into the tech space and gained a little more knowledge on coding, this profession that I thought of as esoteric and exclusive to people with a brain wired a certain way has become more accessible. I think of it as something that could potentially open up a whole new world of possibilities rather than something to be scared of. The “behind the scenes” aspect of things like the functionality of an app or a self driving car is something that many of us have taken for granted simply because we lack the knowledge. However, my inquisitive nature has sparked my deep interest coding and I am very excited to learn about what goes into making these systems work. I’ve come to realise that if I give myself enough credit and put in the work i can achieve anything I put my mind to.
