I’m Ayesha Yege, a passionate software engineer and technology enthusiast with a strong focus on backend development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps. I specialize in building scalable applications using modern technologies like .NET, EF Core, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud services like Azure and AWS.

With a diverse background in software development, I’ve successfully contributed to various projects ranging from API development to cloud-native architectures. I thrive in fast-paced environments, continuously learning new tools and techniques to optimize workflows and deliver high-quality solutions.

I’m also an advocate for open-source contributions and community engagement. I’m actively involved in the CNCF community and excited about sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and fostering collaboration among developers worldwide.

As a woman in STEM, I am passionate about promoting diversity and inclusivity in the technology community. I believe that fostering a more diverse and representative community can spark innovation, new perspectives, and a stronger support system for underrepresented groups. By joining the CNCF Santo Domingo chapter as an organizer, I aim to encourage more women and diverse individuals to engage with cloud-native technologies, contribute to open-source projects, and pursue careers in tech.

Being involved in this community is important to me because I’ve seen firsthand the impact that mentorship, community engagement, and knowledge sharing can have on individuals who might otherwise feel isolated in this field. I hope to inspire others by showing that gender, background, or circumstances should not be a barrier to success in tech.

With my experience in cloud-native development and active involvement in various technical communities, I am eager to contribute to the CNCF Santo Domingo chapter by organizing events, workshops, and discussions that champion diversity and encourage collaboration among all members of the tech ecosystem.

Thank you for your submission @Ayege - I will put this issue in front of the current organizers so they can tell you the best next steps for joining as an co-organizer.

But first, if you have not yet already - please attend their meetups regularly and become a member of the Santo Domingo chapter.

Hi @AudMonte01 , that's correct! @Ayege initiated as a community member in our chapter, but her skills, contributions, and community-driven efforts have made of her a key member organizer for our team. This being the case, please approve this request for Ayesha to join as a co-organizer. Thanks in advance!
