The session will start with a story of how she got into tech (spoiler: it's all about finding and building supportive communities) and how she navigated building a career in software and teaching. The session will end with a roundtable discussion of your individual experiences finding a footing in the technical realm and how we can support each other to belong here.

Most importantly, we’ll have Tigris presenting a demo of her latest work Emotional Alchemy which looks at the relationship between AI and scent — an immersive olfactory installation that materialises conversations, emotions and expressions of identity into bespoke fragrances, capturing the unique contour of our individuality.
