Navigating the IT landscape through growth and impact

In the fast-changing world of IT, where groundbreaking ideas get mixed with tricky challenges, people find their own unique paths to success.

“Building something without knowing the big picture is like trying to solve a puzzle without seeing the picture on the box.”

Master

Meet Lisanne Farla who began her career journey at Netcompany as a full-stack developer. She has since then developed her competencies and progressed into the role of a Master. Her journey has been driven by a commitment to learning, a devotion to overcoming any challenges and a great passion for unravelling complex tech issues.

Foundations of knowledge

Lisanne’s journey began at De Haagse Hogeschool in Den Haag, where she got a degree in HBO Informatica. However, education was only the initial stepping stone. Balancing her studies with the ambition to get some practical experience, Lisanne decided to dedicate 1.5 days per week to her student job, where she worked at an IT firm.

“This experience paved the way for me to enter the IT world, diving headfirst into the role of a junior full-stack developer. From the get-go, I was entrusted with end-to-end responsibilities for a single application, spanning requirement analysis, development, testing, and deployment.”

You have to see the big picture

With only two years under her belt, Lisanne embarked on a new chapter at Netcompany, plunging into the dynamic world of agile scrum teams.

“Working collaboratively in this setting not only expanded my technical competencies but also fostered an environment of mutual learning. I really enjoy sharing what I know with my colleagues and helping them grow, whether it is tech-related or with other job skills. I believe it’s important to understand why we’re working in tech because just building something without knowing the big picture is like trying to solve a puzzle without seeing the picture on the box.

The driving force

Beyond the binaries of code and algorithms lies a profound motivation – the joy of unravelling intricate puzzles. I embrace my role as a tech enabler, transforming clients’ aspirations into tangible applications. This process of converting visions into reality and witnessing satisfied clients is the heartbeat of my career.

Impacting the world through automation

Peering into the future, I envision a journey that centres around easing the burdens of work through automation. The dream is to make life smoother for everyone, leveraging technology as a bridge between efficiency and enhanced quality of life.

In the grand scheme of the IT world, my journey stands as an example of growth, dedication, and the desire to create meaningful change. From the halls of education to the dynamic day-to-day of agile teams. As I continue to shape my path, I can only imagine and believe in the transformation I hope to leave.
