 My name is Paola Di Natale. I'm 35 years old and I'm Italian. My current job is a software engineer. As a software engineer, I design and planning information technology solution that translates business requirements into technical tasks and I follow agile methodology and I build high quality and effective software products that deliver real business in the shortest time. Every day is quite different, but there is also several aspects that happen every day. Daily I translate the requirement into technical tasks and assign the tasks to the most appropriate person of the team based on these or our attitude and expertise and shake validate the code committed by the other engineer of the team. I start my PhD in another field. So at that time I need money to pay my degree. My parent couldn't afford this expense. I have a lot of friends of mine that was working on IT. So I decided to attend this course and after a few months I do my first job interview with a company that they hired me. And that experience gave me the chance to grow up like a developer. Honestly say that I'm not expecting that these became so interesting. So it's something very innovative and from position for the innovation and digitalization that is something very important today. I really suggest everyone to give a chance to this type of job. You can imagine that maybe the more difficult that you can find is to learn something new. It's not true because we have a lot of course and peer-to-peer occasion to learn. The main difficult maybe in my whole company not in this currently it was that my team was with only male and Italian. Someday I feel that I cannot share my real version of me. I saw that more and more girls and women are involved in this field and really we need because it's not true that is a male job. Probably the most difficult part is to have the right team. A message for young women that want to apply to this job to have faith in the process of change. This is a work very innovative and you have to find the courage to do new things. There is other words and other realities that you don't know and it's right to invest in new experience without having the fear to invest your energy and effort to learn new skills. For suggestion there is a lot of peer-to-peer learning course and free open source course that you can really have the chance to attend. So even for women difficult in this field I would recommend that to attend this course because they could really have a positive change in their life. So it could be a great experience for them.
