They might motivate and encourage you to do something out of the ordinary in your career.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The importance of women in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math\u00a0has been gaining a momentum in the last years. At\u00a0I T.A.K.E. Unconference<\/a>, we value women\u2019s contribution in IT and we believe their dedication to the software craft\u00a0can be\u00a0an inspiration for other practitioners.<\/p>\n

In the latest posts we invited you to learn more about the contribution women have in IT as\u00a0Fransizka Sauerwein<\/a>, Alexandra Marin<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Grace Hopper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to introduce you Claudia Rosu,<\/a> software craftswoman speaking @\u00a0I T.A.K.E Unconference 2016.<\/a><\/p>\n

#1. What’s your professional story?<\/h4>\n

Why did you choose to develop a career in this domain?<\/p>\n

First, I will say that I am proud to be a software developer. Since primary school I loved to solve\u00a0math problems. Later, during high school, I was encouraged to follow Computer Science, as I had good logical and analytical thinking skills. Looking back, I would follow the same path, and I would change just a few things.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What I would do differently is to rely more on my\u00a0skills and spend more time reading. One story that changed my professional growth for the better: early in my career, my\u00a0senior developer colleague told me that it is great to have a girl in the team as we pay more attention to details and we don’t leave bugs in the code :).\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the reading side, I would include technical and non-technical books, which help us develop skills to: write quality code, communicate and collaborate better, focus on continuous improvement.\u00a0With confidence in my\u00a0skills and discipline\u00a0in reading, I can now deliver quality software that helps the users in\u00a0their activity. Extra, I am\u00a0organizing and facilitating community events, speak at various\u00a0gatherings to share my experience &\u00a0learn others.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

#2. Share with us a lesson you’ve learned since you’ve been working in IT<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n
It is said that to be a great programmer you need strong technical skills. This is what I have learned during university. And it is true. What I didn’t know is that this is not enough. Having other skills like creativity, courage,\u00a0openness and initiative is even more important. Since\u00a0realizing it,\u00a0it is easier for me to improve as a professional, on both soft and technical skills.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

#3. Whom do you admire as a women IT practitioner? Why?<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n
I admire most Rebecca Wirfs-Brock<\/a>. I believe she can be a true inspiration for all women working or want to work in technology. I’ve met Rebecca\u00a03 years ago at the first I.T.A.K.E. Unconference and since then I have learned a lot from her knowledge and experience. Improving the way I am doing software design is easier because of her insights\u00a0on this topic.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
