What was your first role in the tech industry, and how did it shape your journey 🚐

My first impactful role was at a startup in Madison WI. It was also my first introduction into the world of ML and changed how I started viewing problems and solutions.

I have always been a founder, so I can’t even imagine myself in any other role.

I started at Synap, a tech start-up, just over 3 years ago as a digital marketing apprentice after graduating from Uni with a Sports & Exercise Science Degree (a change of pace I know). I've been working there ever since take on projects in marketing, UX/UI design and now product management. I'm constantly learning and trying to adapt with the growth of the company. Every day is a school day!

Started coding at the age of 11, good old assembler on C64 and later Amiga. Then studied law (of all things), hated it, took a job for Berlitz (the language school) in Germany to run their IT. They had an old Pentium 133 MHz server running Novell 4.0. I converted all of that into a proper server infrastructure. Now, 22 years later, I'm trying to productize my consulting business...

Started of as Market research analyst. This helped me a lot during my Entrepreneurial phase.

I started in sales and then moved over to product! I have found quite a few parallels between the two roles as the two seek to understand and solve for pain points from users. The drive to help solve and resolve for pain points is really key and keeps me going every day!

It all started from me taking the role and responsibility of web development in the first business I co-founded. Building websites, attracting hundreds of customers cemented my fascination with design and technology and now I am working as a product designer in an amazing startup from Pakistan. 😃🙌 Every step of this journey was worth it and I am so grateful to have chosen this career! This is just the beginning though, there's a lot more to come...

Hey Deniz! Fun question. I was working as a mid-level graphic designer before joining GoFundMe as a junior product designer back in 2015. The move to the US from Canada, and subsequent move to San Francisco was super important for my growth and mentorship. Since GoFundMe, I joined Lyft and am now drawing on my past experiences to launch an app of my own.

My first role in the tech industry was actually as a developer, and it had a profound impact on my journey with ProApp. Working hands-on in development allowed me to understand the intricacies of building a powerful edtech platform like ours. It also taught me the importance of user-centric design and how technology can truly transform education. By the way, speaking of edtech, we just launched our application ProApp on Product Hunt today! It's an exciting platform that helps you learn design in an interactive and engaging way.
