There are a lot of complexities at play when you're a millennial, a woman, and a minority in the tech industry, meaning that having an effective career to make an imprint on the world will be complicated and layered. But that doesn’t mean we cannot breaking down the walls of inequality. It just means you have to be strategic and employ multiple methods of tackling these problems to create more inclusive spaces for everyone.<br><br>I will share my stories as a consulting engineer, reflections of such, and how everyone can "have it all." Come for the technical and not-so-technical challenges and, of course, the constant need to positively improve oneself in an array of situations!

8. I just had a look at Diana's profile on LinkedIn and I have some concerns about her
experience. I only see ~1.5 years of experienceprior
to MongoDB and it appears much of that was as a non-developer…
As such, for this to be a successful engagement from our end, it is imperative that we
engage with a consultant who has significant real-world
hands-on experience working with large scale databases.”

immediately actionable insights, helped ensure there
weren't any glaring deficiencies in our current infrastructure, as well as providing
great guidanceon how we continue to scale going forward.
