Cloud Engineering Manager

LexisNexis

LexisNexis provides legal, regulatory and business information and analytics that help customers increase productivity, improve decision-making and outcomes, and advance the rule of law around the world. I lead teams of software engineers to deliver innovative solutions for the company.

I love collaborating with different developer teams and solve their problems with automation.

I talk to engineers about projects they are working on, help them understand the bigger picture, and help them unblock from obstacles.

I majored in Electronics, completed a Master's degree in Computer Networking, but chose a career in computer science as a career where I can use all my skills. I started my career as an intern and now have a leadership role!

My aspiration is to become the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a big technology company one day. I am very passionate to motivate and bring more girls and young women into STEM.

I enjoy reading leadership books, hang out with friends for game/movie nights and binge-watch Netflix series that are centered around women empowerment. My favorite shows are Madam Secretary and The Queen's Gambit.
