Brigita S
I am very new in the community, but the ladies in the group seem lovely. I enjoyed our first meeting on the 8th of March and got some great advice to improve my resumé. Great place to meet like-minded women in tech!

Brigita S

I got advice on how to improve my resumé, portfolio website and LinkedIn profile and a bunch of other hints about my projects. The hardest part for me is LinkedIn because I don't have experience in the field and there is not much to show yet.

But thanks to Elke, now I have a strategy on how to build up my profile with relevant skills and show my value to potential employers. To be abel this issue - is a big relief. Honestly, this was the most productive conversation about resumes/portfolios/LinkedIn I ever had.

Alina MAbout our individual resume & portfolio review sessions

As a student who's applying for her first internship without any prior experience I wasn’t quite sure how to shape my resumé in a way that is appealing to recruiters so I reached out to women.code(be) for a résumé review.

The feedback that I got was very detailed and pointing out good ideas and bad mistakes alongside advice to correct them. I can now confidently send my résumé knowing it best displays my abilities.

Oya C
As someone who migrated to Belgium and a stay-at-home mom who was breaking into tech, I felt anxious about being prejudiced during my job search. And on top of that, not having any connections was not helping either.

women.code(be) provided me with a place where I can share my story, connect with fellow peers and like-minded people. Being part of this community even helped me land my current job.

Sarra Laksaci

Meet Sarra Laksaci, Machine Learning Engineer

Sarra is a soon to be Machine Learning engineer, who became fascinated by computer vision and artificial intelligence during her studies. As you read this she is finising up her Master thesis, a study that identifies fire salamanders through their spot patterns.

In her free time, you might run into Sarra while she's visiting musea, exhibitions, local cities or trying out a new hobby. But her true passion lies in comic books, which has been reignited since she moved to Belgium.

Sarra is also a very gifted public speaker, something we were fortunate enough to learn at one of our previous events.

Leonor Drummond

Meet Leonor Drummond, Data Scientist

Switching careers isn't always easy or straightforward. The same can be said after reading about Leonor's journey into tech. The road was bumpy, but thanks to her eagerness to learn and persevere, Leonor has become the data scientist she is today.

A big part of her job consists out of doing research, brainstorming and problem solving together with team members.

Outside work, Leonor is adventurous and has a big love for sports, such as snowboarding, hiking mountain trails, kite surfing and so on... but on a regular weekday, you are more likely to find her going on walks with her trusted labrador by her side.
