The story behind negin_n2
I'm Negin Nafissi — or negin_n2 if you know me online. I started as a computer science student in a class that was 96% men, and decided I didn't just want to keep up, but to stand out.
My path went from Java developer to OutSystems consultant, from teacher at NOVI Hogeschool to speaker at tech conferences, and from software engineer to data engineer. Along the way I became a mentor on ADPList, where I've now ranked in the Top 10 for three quarters in a row.
I believe tech is for everyone. That complex topics can be explained in an understandable way. And that the best way to learn is by sharing.
