This week I speak with Anvi Patel who works as a Solutions Engineer at VMware in the UK. Anvi got to know Vmware as an intern and the great experiences she made reinforced her decision to finish her Computer Science studies. She had been close to dropping out due to the fact that she didn't enjoy certain aspects of the curriculum, for example, programming.
Anvi is also one of the creators of Paperless Games https://paperlessgames.co.uk/mystery-games/ an amazing internet platform where you can solve mysteries. This project came to life because Anvo had always enjoyed playing games with her friends and wanted to find a way to do this during the last year when the restrictions of meeting in person made playing face to face impossible.
Anvi's advice for young women going into IT is not to be discouraged by failure but to always keep on trying. Failure hurts but it is just a part of the journey and we have to learn to cope with it. As long as you keep on trying you have a chance to succeed!
