Diversity is the Cornerstone for Better Solutions in Tech
A Spotlight on Senior Data Engineer at The ROOM Natalija Puzanskaja
Natalija Puzanskaja is one of the few people who can claim to have been born into the tech industry. She was encouraged to pursue a career in the field by her parents, who are software engineers. Professionally, Natalija is a statistician, but also has a multidisciplinary background and over ten years of combined experience in business analytics, database design, and software development. Based in Lithuania, she currently works as a Senior Data Engineer at The ROOM, and has been referred to as a “data whisperer”, who employs a creative approach in her work in order to produce novel, ground-breaking solutions.
Can you share what inspired you to join The ROOM?
I prioritise ideas and problems over company names, which is why I joined The ROOM. The problem it is solving is huge and the idea it embodies is bold.
What motivated you to enter the tech field and pursue a career in this space?
My parents are my role models for both family and work life. Both of them are software engineers, so they served as good examples of what a life in tech could look like. I love them both, but don’t tell my dad I said this — I think mom is more successful :)
What are some of your key responsibilities at The ROOM?
I ensure the business runs uninterrupted by data ingestion, pipelines creation and timely maintenance.
What do you love most about your work?
I like my work for its ability to make an impact.
Why do you believe it’s important for more women to get into tech?
I believe diversity is the foundation for better solutions.
