Process Street
What do a neuroscientist, a DJ, a college professor, and a bartender have in common?
They all work at Process Street.
Part of that is due to being a remote company (wider talent pool). Part is the type of
person typically drawn to startup work (liminal weirdos). And part is a company culture
that understands tacit knowledge is just as valuable â sometimes more valuable â than
explicit training.
This particular cocktail adds up to a company made up of people with diverse
backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives collaborating towards a shared objective.
The outcome â to use the technical term â is very cool.
This is the genesis of our Employee Spotlight series. Not only are our people highly
talented in their company roles, but they bring with them a wealth of stories that make for
some very entertaining small talk at the beginning of our monthly all-hands meetings.
2. 2/9
In honor of International Women in Engineering Day, putting one of our engineers in the
spotlight was a no-brainer.
Allow me to introduce our Senior Frontend Engineer, wife, futsal star, dog-parent, and
all-around exceptional human being: Leti Escanciano.
Leti & Samba
Q: Iâm going to hit you right off the bat with a three-part question. First,
how do your friends and family describe you? Second, what sort of things
do your colleagues say? Third, how would you describe yourself?
If you ask my wife, she would say that Iâm super untidy at home but caring and thoughtful
with the people I love.
My friends would say that I always have a smile on my face and a lot of positive,
contagious energy.
My colleagues⌠This one is tough! I would say they see me as hard-working, eager to
learn, and happy to help when needed.
What I would say about myself⌠I care about the people I love. I try to enjoy little things
in life, like playing sports and traveling with my family and friends.
3. 3/9
AigĂźestortes (Lleida, Spain): Hiking with her futsal team, Ale (wife), and Samba (dog)
If I have to highlight one of my qualities/skills, that would be that Iâm persistent. In my
personal life, that goes from building a tricky IKEA desk to making some homemade pasta
and trying to get the perfect ravioli.
I keep trying, failing, learning, and readjusting until Iâm proud of the result. It doesnât
have to be perfect, just good enough for me and my skill level in that particular domain.
Being persistent is super important and helpful as an engineer; most of the time things
just donât work on the first try.
Q: What role does a frontend engineer play in a company like Process
Street?
As engineers, we take care of building new features or improving existing ones.
As a frontend engineer, Iâm specialized in anything that has to do with the interface that
the user is interacting with or seeing. Simply put, when one of our users logs in to Process
Street, they are interacting with our frontend.
Q: What was the first thing that drew you to engineering? The first
moment you thought, âHey, this is really cool. I want to know more about
itâ?
It actually comes in two parts.
When I finished high school, I decided to study telecommunications engineering. There
was something about understanding how we could communicate with each other in the
distance that drew my attention.
4. 4/9
It was supposed to be really cool, but my degree wasnât actually that fun. So after college, I
started working in a Big 4 consulting firm (PwC) and left engineering a little bit.
Fuerteventura, Canary Islands: Aleâs 31st birthday
A few years later, I was working at Sportmadness, where I started to be more involved in
the tech side. We were creating an app, so I managed some of the freelance work because
of my engineering background.
Then my manager decided that we should create a tech department within the company
and I should lead it as a CTO, so⌠Challenge accepted!
We created a small team with two developers and started working on our product. After a
couple of months of learning online, I decided to enroll in a coding boot camp to better
support the team. I enjoyed coding so much that I started coding too.
Q: Did you have a specific moment where you realized engineering was
the career for you or was it more of an organic process?
I would say that opportunity at Sportmadness was clearly an inflection point. In college, I
didnât like programming at all. I always say that I didnât have a good teacher, but it might
also be that I was 18 back then. [laughs]
But the challenge of building something meaningful for our customers made me want to
learn more and build better experiences for them.
Q: What sort of support did you use while learning/pursuing
coding/engineering?
At first, I relied on a lot of online material, but it wasnât enough to set the right
foundations. Thatâs why I decided to enroll in a boot camp.
5. 5/9
After I finished my bootcamp, Iâd built those foundations, but Iâd also learned how to
learn, if that makes sense. Engineering is a continuous learning process, so you better get
good at learning fast and adapting to changes.
Madrid: Leti & Samba enjoying the Filomena snowstorm
Q: In a team of 10, you are the only woman in our engineering department,
which isnât great in terms of diversity. Has that been typical of your career
so far and how have you handled it?
Truth is, it has been that way almost my entire life. When I was a kid, I really liked playing
futsal, and not a lot of girls did. From the very beginning, I got used to being surrounded
by boys/men.
I think, in a way, that helped me out a lot during my life. I never felt less than anyone and
my classmates/friends didnât treat me any differently because I was the only girl playing
âboysâ sports.â

Letiâs (bottom right) first futsal team
The only thing that was frustrating was the adults. For example, around 10, I think, boys
and girls couldnât play together on the same team in a competitive environment. If I
wanted to keep playing futsal, I had to find a girlsâ team. So I convinced all the girls in my
class to start a team. [laughs]
In my engineering class, there were also few women compared to the number of men, and
then switching to the sports industry, it was the same story again.
I think Iâve always handled it naturally. I havenât let anyone think less of me because of
my gender, and if they do⌠Well, thatâs their problem. [laughs]

One of Letiâs (#14) last futsal matches
That being said, my colleagues have always treated me as an equal, which I am.
I understand that that might not always be the case, but I donât have any negative
experiences on that front.
I always value diversity, but not only regarding gender. There are so many things we can
learn from each other when we are different when we live in different places, think
differently about life, or have different backgrounds.

Q: In your opinion, why is engineering and tech in general so male-
dominated? Is it a lack of access or opportunities? Lack of recognition â
yâknow, women are there but we never hear about their
accomplishments? Is it a work environment/culture thing?
8. 8/9
I think that in male-dominated fields, women tend to feel more insecure and need to
accomplish twice as much as men to get the same recognition. It could feel like you are
out of your element and that all of them know way better than you what they are doing.
The truth is that they donât. Everyone feels insecure for different reasons, but in these
fields, itâs more common in women.
Q: Carrying on from that, what needs to change for more women to
pursue careers in tech?
I think everything starts with a great education from the time weâre children.
If we start educating our kids that their gender doesnât define what kind of careers they
can pursue, they wonât have these issues when they grow up. Theyâll see and treat each
other as equals.
Q: So I do have to ask the ubiquitous question: Why Process Street?
One of the main reasons I chose Process Street was the team!
I really enjoyed the interview process where every conversation felt so natural.
Kudos to Gabriel [Director of Engineering], Schutte [Senior Engineer II], Ivy [Kwan],
Vince [Speelman], and Cameron [CTO/Founder] for showing me what Process Streetâs
culture is like.
Another reason was the great opportunity to learn from real rockstars and the
opportunity to work for a US startup.
Q: Before I let you get back to work, since itâs International Women in
Engineering Day, what advice or insight do you have for women who are
considering â or already have â careers in tech?
I would encourage them to follow the career that they really want. Donât worry too much if
itâs male-dominated or not. If you are great at what you do, youâll end up finding your
place for sure.
There are a lot of companies out there that value diversity and equal gender opportunities.
Start with those.
