Carbon Five Tech Lead, Courtney Hemphill, joined a host of women speaking on their inspirations and journeys in science, technology, engineering, and math to celebrate Ada Lovelace day at Thoughtworks in SF. This talk focused on how Ada's uniquely creative and analytical upbringing allowed her to see future potential in technology and how early exposure to computers and puzzles inspired a balanced transition from design to development in Courtney's career.
