Marianne is a PHP developer who specializes in TYPO3 CMS. However, she prefers to see herself as a generalist, since she rather uses different technologies depending on the requirements. Additionally, she brings experience in project management, SEO consulting and a degree in German. What she loves most is the diversity and fast-paced evolution of web technologies. “It's impossible to get bored!”
Marianne shared some insights about her profession and inspiration as a tech expert in a short interview for expertlead:
“Since my childhood I’ve been magically attracted by computers and the concept of the internet. I was intrigued by the complexity, the vast possibilities and the potential of reaching a world-wide audience.”
“The freedom of choice in every aspect, be it time, location, clients or technology."
“Many kinds of people for very different reasons."
“In my experience, sexism comes in a subtle way, even in an open-minded industry like ours and it mostly goes unnoticed. The main issue I had with this was the struggle for recognition.”
“Don’t let yourself be intimidated by the learning curve and try not to compare yourself to others. If you find something you’re passionate about, the journey truly is the reward.”
“Do what you love. Love what you do.”
