#71: Louise Shambrook (Software Engineer at FindMyPast) on Career Changing, Machine Learning and Women in Tech

<p>Louise Shambrook is a software engineer and former social worker based in Edinburgh UK. Following on from collaborations with The Coder Career at events and on our discord server, Louise joins Cam on the podcast to discuss her journey into tech and what she's learnt along the way! We also talk about gender equality in the industry and what work needs to be undertaken from school level up to the workplace, the experience of getting into software engineering via data rather than the traditional route of web development training, and how Louise's employer FindMyPast is able to process thousands of historical sources to allow people to trace their family history.</p><br><p>Contact Louise:</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/louise-shambrook-8642aa163/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><br><p>Contact Cam:</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/cameronblackwood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All Content + Links</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
