My name is Yasmin Taylor.I currently work as a Platform Engineer and Backend Engineer. I ensure that we are automating our pipelines accordingly and efficiently.
Originally I wanted to become an astronaut! So I've always been quite big on science.In college I studied applied science which consist of biology, physics and chemistry.I didn't do as well academically as I thought I would have and got CCD.My parents have always supported me academically and it helped that my dad was a math genius so I learnt algebra quite early on.
My love of sci-fi movies predominantly led to my passion in tech.I saw from the movies how fun and easy having advanced tech made life seem- and it fueled my curiosity to create or imitate something similar.
My first step into tech was my course in university.I studied Artificial Intelligence and Robotics and it was during my time on this course I was introduced into the world of coding .One of the hardest things i've had to face during my time in tech was being the only person of color,only person from a working class background and the only female. It was very hard to convince them that I was more than capable of doing my job and it felt like I had to prove to them by going above and beyond that I deserve to be here.
I am a very spiritual person so with hard work and prayer I was able to calm myself down and understand that I am paving the way for others that look like me.’’
