A different perspective

My colleagues also think I should attend the conference. Here is what they say.

"Miryam sets an example by strongly opposing female underrepresentation in software engineering and contributes for more diversity in our company. For Miryam, participation at O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference would be an amazing opportunity to level up her hard skills but also to strengthen her confidence and voice in the team."

Dimitri A., Head of Software Development

"I think Miryam is self-motivated, committed and very capable person. In my opinion, for her even the sky is not the limit and she just needs a chance to prove it."

Nariman A., Senior software Developer

Daniel B., Sales Manager: So proud of his first “coding” experience…

"Miryam is one of the most charming, cultured and well-balanced computer engineers I ever met. Her curiosity and never-ending positivity are very refreshing for our daily routines. I wish her all the best in her networking and learning endeavors!"

Dorothee H., Marketing Manager

"Miryam always beats me at table soccer. I have tremendous respect for her and I can't wait to see her win the Christmas tournament this year."

Lutz Limburg, Product Owner

“In 20 years as a Fintech entrepreneur with both, 360T and CRX, I have worked with many intelligent and highly inspiring people inside and outside my companies… from driven, smart employees to creative, motivating counterparts in the world’s largest corporates and financial institutions. Miryam is among the very top of those inspiring people. She will make a difference in business and personal life and I am honored that Miryam allows me and the rest of the team to work with her.”

Moritz von der Linden, Founder & Chief Business Officer

“When I started working at the company, I noticed Miryam right away, as she was the only female on the whole IT-team of over 20 people. Something quite different than what I’m used to in my field – respect! In addition, she is a very cheerful, motivated and genuinely interesting person and considering her multifaceted personal, education and professional background I think she is a perfect candidate for the Conference's Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship Program!”

Johanna von S., Legal Associate

"Miryam has been with us for a couple of months now. She turned out to be a great addition to our team, and she will be to the O’Reilly Conference in New York."

Frank L., CEO

"Miryam is a lovely colleague, and she really wants to attend this conference to learn more about software architecture. And if you knew her already, you would know that you would miss her if she did not come! So she simply must attend!"

Veronika N., Assistant to the Executive Board

"We at CRX are notoriously picky in our recruiting activities. The fact that Miryam was the first junior developer who found place in our team of hardcore IT geeks speaks for itself. But there is more to it: Miryam raises new discussion topics, brings new ideas, and makes everyone smile at least 3.14 times more often than before. Basically, she is the definition of the term Diversity for our team."

Pasha Shabalin, PhD, Founder and CTO

"Being on the edge is important for an enthusiastic software developer. That's why I'd be happy for Miryam if she'd get a chance to attend the conference. I'm sure she'll bring back lots of exciting and valuable ideas for the team."

Sergey P., Senior software developer
