I had the privilege of speaking with Meena Satishkumar – a brilliant Solution Architect and founder of Tech Beyond Gender, an initiative driving diversity, inclusion, and innovation in tech. 🌐✨ 💡 Key Highlights from Our Conversation:
✅ Meena’s journey from data engineering to solution architecture, fueled by curiosity for the bigger picture.
✅ Challenges of moving from technical depth to architectural breadth – and why storytelling & influence matter as much as design.
✅ The inspiration behind Tech Beyond Gender and its mission to amplify underrepresented voices through research, mentoring, and community engagement.
✅ How Generative AI is transforming architecture:
- ⚡ Accelerating design & trade-off analysis
- 🗣 Bridging communication gaps
- 🎯 Enabling strategic focus
- ✅ Ethics & governance remain critical
1️⃣ Expand your context – think beyond code to business impact.
2️⃣ Embrace ambiguity – decisions often come with incomplete info.
3️⃣ Build communication & collaboration skills – architecture is a team sport.
4️⃣ Stay curious – lifelong learning is key. 💬 Meena also reminded us that confidence and mental well-being are just as important as technical skills. Practices like meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises can help maintain clarity and resilience. 🌱 I shared my own experience: transitioning wasn’t easy – mentorship and persistence made all the difference. It’s not a promotion; it’s a role change requiring new skills and mindset.
