Paths Uncovered is run by Akanksha Malik in an aim to highlight the untraditional pathways into tech.
Representation can be quite limited in tech for not only different roles but also pathways.
Having met so many people with surprising and often very unexpected paths into tech it was time to collate it onto one platform.
All together it has evolved into this podcast where the aim is to not only showcase different opportunities into tech but also that there is no "right" way to do it.
Akanksha is a Data Consultant, a Microsoft AI MVP and an international speaker.
After studying Financial Maths and Actuarial Science at UCC, Ireland, she realised she wanted to work with people as well as numbers.
