The Stellar Development Foundation spotlights eight female technical leaders on their teams, sharing career advice, paths into blockchain, and perspectives on representation in tech and the blockchain industry.
In celebration of International Women's Day, the Stellar Development Foundation interviewed eight female engineers and technical program managers, including frontend engineers, a VP of Engineering, technical program managers, and a software engineer working on Stellar Core. They discussed their career journeys, advice for aspiring programmers (emphasizing persistence, curiosity, and continuous learning), the skills needed for technical roles (problem-solving, user perspective, communication), how they entered blockchain (often from skepticism or adjacent fields), and why representation matters in tech and blockchain. The interviews highlight how diverse teams with varied backgrounds lead to better solutions for global communities.
