#248 Limor Mekaiten embraced engineering management and mentoring

Limor placed the start of her journey in her early childhood, doing a lot of maths and playing with computers. As a brilliant student during high school, she could enroll in enrichment classes and dip her does into computer science, which took us to do her military service in the IDF's Intelligence Corps Technological Unit 81. We talked about her experience as a QA engineer there and how she discovered this field first-hand. We then discussed how she returned to university to study computer science and cognitive sciences. We discussed her first job, how she found it, and how she became an Android engineer. We discussed moving toward management, and finally, we talked about communities & mentorship and how it took her to Wilco, the company she worked for when we recorded the show.
