Technologist
Sunday, 3 August 2025
My name is Aroma, and I’m currently a Software Engineer at Microsoft in Redmond, where I work on large-scale backend systems that power GPT and Copilot use cases—specifically around document processing, entity extraction, and scalable NLP services. My work focuses on building multi-tenant systems that process and serve billions of documents efficiently, ensuring both reliability and performance at enterprise scale.
My journey spans fintech, healthtech, and enterprise AI—across India and the U.S.—with a background that combines hands-on engineering, system design, and outreach. Outside of work, I’ve spoken at PyCon conferences across Europe and Asia, and I’m passionate about making technical knowledge accessible and inclusive.

Hi, I’m Dohee! I’m currently working as a Junior Test Engineer at Intercede, mainly focusing on manual testing. I’m originally from South Korea but moved to the UK when I was 12. I studied Aviation Management at university, but after graduating, I found myself really drawn to the tech world.

Freelance Full-stack Engineer
Monday, 18 September 2023
Hey, I'm Judi, a software engineer based in Berlin. After a few years of working as a full-stack engineer, I realised two things: a) Working in tech is awesome and b) it can be quite exhausting. I've therefore decided to embark on a self-employment adventure, hoping to find a calm and sustainable approach to working in tech. I could also talk for hours about Developer Experience and Developer Productivity since I believe how we organize our work is just as important (if not more) than choosing the right tech stack. I prefer progress over perfection and enjoy building prototypes, releasing MVPs, and shipping things fast.
