| 00:03 | I am Andreea and I work as Assistant Vice President for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. |
| 00:09 | As a programmer I build software applications for business users, traders and sales. We use cutting edge technologies and programming languages such as Python and JavaScript with React. As part of my everyday job I take the business requirements and I implement them in our software systems. |
| 00:33 | My mother was a programming teacher. So she wanted me to have my first computer at a very young age. I remember my first website was not even live, it was just on my laptop and it only had a couple of pictures but I was so proud when I managed to actually build a table that I went on and told every single friend I had. |
| 01:03 | I believe there were a few challenges when I moved to London by myself without knowing anyone but I saw it as another problem that requires solving. This is what I do every day, I’m a problem solver, I’m a programmer. |
| 01:18 | It was hard to find friends when you’re not actually studying in UK but you’re moving from a foreign country but this did not stop me. |
| 01:28 | It’s very challenging to learn how to code because you come across a lot of problems and issues and most of the times, actually all the times it does not work but it’s all about actually going on and not giving up because when you code you actually solve a problem. |
| 01:57 | One piece of advice I would give to young girls is why not give it a try. If you’re interested in coding or not you will never know unless you try. |
