The best book I’ve read is ‘Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future’ by Ashlee Vance. This book provided me with deep insights into Elon Musk’s visionary approach to problem-solving, where challenges are transformed into opportunities. It has been a great source of inspiration for me.

My favorite quote is “Everything is driven by mind power.”

Reading books has been a lifelong passion that I cherish and will never let go of.

If I were retiring tomorrow and embarking on a completely different second career, I would pursue my passion for Tai Chi by teaching it.

If money, time, or current responsibilities were not an issue, I would prioritize spending quality time with my parents. They have been my pillars of support throughout my life, and being able to create lasting memories with them would be my greatest joy.

I find motivation in collaborating within a supportive team environment. Working together harmoniously drives me to excel in my work. As a leader, I prioritize fostering such an atmosphere to empower everyone to perform at their best.

My family’s support has been the cornerstone of my career, providing me with strength and encouragement.

I haven’t encountered significant obstacles to my career growth so far. By maintaining clarity about my goals and consistently putting forth my best effort, I believe I have the resilience to overcome any challenges that may arise.

Sometimes, I find that securing a technically skilled resource with a good attitude can be a challenge.

I have been noticed for my dedication and accountability throughout my career.

Keeping ourselves updated with the evolving technology landscape and maintaining adaptability are major accelerators for success in our field.

The question I get asked most often in my line of work is how I keep myself updated with the latest technology.

What I enjoy most about my job is the flexibility it offers. It allows us to connect with people around the globe and provides opportunities for personal growth.

I consider Elon Musk as my role model for his visionary leadership and innovative approach to solving complex problems.

My golden piece of advice to young women starting out in technology is to remember that you are on the right track, as technology is the future of the world. Focus on building strong analytical skills and adaptability to navigate the ever-changing technology landscape. This will help you flourish and succeed.

My leadership style is a combination of participative and delegative. I involve my team in decision-making processes while also trusting them to take ownership of their tasks.

The supporting skills that have helped me most as a leader are interpersonal skills and patience.

I have gained commitment from my team by consistently leading by example, which helps to inspire their dedication and support.

Positively.

Customer delight is the key motivating factor for any project I undertake. I focus on building strong relationships and demonstrating empathy, not only through the delivery of the final product but also in daily interactions with customers.

Absolutely!

I am currently focused on acquiring new skills that will be beneficial in the future. Understanding that knowledge equips us for specific job roles and wisdom shapes our broader life approach, I am committed to lifelong learning that enhances both these aspects.

Currently, I work in the banking sector, which requires strict adherence to compliance and security standards. Therefore, the technologies we employ must be robust enough to meet these stringent guidelines.

For me, technology is a tool that simplifies life and helps us realize the fullest potential of human capabilities.

In my view, future technology will greatly simplify both developers’ and users’ lives. This will be achieved through the increasing use of low-code or no-code platforms, reduced reliance on customized code, and enhanced integration of various systems. We can also expect a significant surge in cloud migration. Furthermore, the shift towards machine learning and data analytics, already evident, is likely to intensify and expand even more aggressively in the future.

I find the airplane to be the greatest technological invention, as it allows humans to ride in the sky.

Technology has made our lives more flexible and easier, so it is definitely good for society. However, we should be conscious of how and where we use it to ensure that its impact remains positive and avoids any negative consequences.

I keep my technology skills up to date by reading technology books, obtaining certifications, and participating in various technical seminars.

Some of my favorite websites are Google.com, ByteByteGo.com, and Udemy. I like Google for its comprehensive search capabilities, ByteByteGo for its detailed insights on software engineering, and Udemy for its wide range of online courses.

My favorite technology product is the Google search engine because it provides answers instantly. My least favorite is the social media site Facebook, as it can distract students from intellectual activities and negatively impact face-to-face interactions.

To balance my priorities with those of stakeholders, I maintain continuous interaction to understand their needs and adjust my actions accordingly.

What makes each human unique is their thought process. Each person’s way of thinking, influenced by their experiences, upbringing, and individual perspectives, shapes their unique outlook on life, problem-solving abilities, and decision-making processes.

No!

The relationship between the mind and the body is paramount, as the mind influences all aspects of human experience and action.
