Seeing other women pave the way, she felt inspired and motivated to do the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transitioning to tech was something that had been on my mind for quite a while, but I was apprehensive about making such a significant change in my career. However, after seeing more female representation in the field, I became increasingly motivated to explore the possibilities that a career in tech could offer me. I joined a 12-week boot camp, which was an intensive program that helped me gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the tech industry. During the boot camp, I learned various technical skills, including programming languages, cloud technologies and database management. However, my main takeaways were not just technical, but also personal. I learned to be kind to myself, to stay motivated, and to be patient with myself as I pursued a different career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Khatra pulled on the support of her family and mentors to realise her work makes a real impact, and her skills in biomedical science have a place in tech.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most significant challenges I faced during the transition was imposter syndrome. As a biomedical scientist, I felt like I did not belong in the tech industry and that I was not good enough to succeed as I had no prior tech experience. However, the support and encouragement I received from my family and mentors helped me overcome this challenge and realise that I had valuable skills to contribute to the field. I also found it essential to network and connect with other professionals in the industry and I was amazed at how supportive and inclusive the tech community was and how many opportunities were available to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although transitioning to tech was a big decision for me, I knew that I wanted to continue making a positive impact on people&#8217;s lives. In tech, I saw an opportunity to use my skills and knowledge in a different way and make a difference in a new field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The flexibility that tech has offered to Khatra has meant her balance of being a Mum and a woman in tech is much more manageable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in tech has provided me with the opportunity to achieve a better work-life balance, which is particularly important to me as a mother of two young children. The flexibility that it offers enables me to be more present for my family while still pursuing a rewarding career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about setting new goals and embarking on a new journey is that it allows us to challenge ourselves and grow in new ways. I have truly enjoyed my journey so far as a DevOps engineer. With the right skills, knowledge, and networking, it is possible to successfully make the transition and build a career in technology. I am grateful for the continuous learning and growth opportunities provided by Capgemini UK, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. The support and inclusiveness of the company have been instrumental in my success, and I hope to pay it forward by supporting and empowering others in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--expert-slider wrapper-people-slider wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-people-slider undefined\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"content-title\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider slider-boxed\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"slider-window\"><div class=\"slider-list\">\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-4 box-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Khatra.png\" alt=\"Khatra\u00a0Farah\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-8 box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row title-social-media-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 mbl-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPB52a56aac_5a38_47df_b27e_f51fe9b5877d\" data-bs-expert-title=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 box-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"people-profile-title\">Khatra\u00a0Farah<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>DevOps Engineer for CIS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 social-box-container dkt-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"people-info\">I am a Cloud DevOps Engineer, with a background in Biomedical Science. I chose to change directions and I am a firm believer that you can start over at any stage of life. I possess a range of expertise in building and deploying monitoring systems, troubleshooting technical incidents, and delivering effective solutions. I live in London, and I am a mum of two wonderful children, a 6-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl who inspire and give me the motivation to do my best in both my personal and professional life. Outside of work, I have recently joined a gym and I like reading and long walks at the park to unwind and catch up with friends. Exploring different cultures through travel is another passion of mine, and I love trying new food along the way.
