Aparna Velpuri Venkata sits with our host, Raisa Gandi Putri, to discuss her career journey and what she’s learned along her adventure. Aparna talks about how she pivoted from her chemical engineering background to a career in software testing (QA), and then again from QA to software engineering, where she is now leading a team of developers.

In this conversation, Aparna discuses her serendipitous journey of moving to the United States and adapting to a new country. Finally, she gives pointers on how/when to switch career paths and she shares some advice for those feeling lost in their careers.
