GirlCode: Rewriting the Code

In this episode, we talk to Vanessa Raath, who is a dynamic, international keynote Speaker who promises to keep you perched on the edge of your seat. Her speciality lies in presenting about Tech Sourcing but she is just as passionate about Women in Tech and Online Branding.  Vanessa has been described as a ‘Guru’ in the Tech Sourcing space in South Africa and is definitely the ‘go to’ Talent Specialist in this space.

This episode, we speak to Clara van Staden about mentorship.  Clara is Backend Software Engineer at Over (recently acquired by GoDaddy) and works remotely from Pretoria. She spends most of her days building  APIs (Golang, swoosh of Kotlin, some DevOps) to make Over for Web (https://www.madewithover.com/) come to life. Before Over, Clara worked at Globetom as a Principal Software Engineer and won two international awards from the TM Forum for her contributions to telecommunications standards. In 2018, she was named a Next Generation Woman Leader by McKinsey & Company. Apart from a love for technology, Clara also enjoys art as a hobby. She is passionate about mentoring as a means to create new waves of young stars in South Africa.

In this episode we speak to Tapiwa Muza, who started off as a GirlCode volunteer and is now a full time operations manager. We talk about her journey through tech and what ultimately lead her to GirlCode.
