Being a mentor to me means going out of your comfort zone, connecting with the new generation of developers, making new connections outside of your bubble.

I always think about myself 14 years ago and how much I would benefit from some advice and encouragement.

At Booking.com, we’ve been thrilled to see a diverse group of Software Engineers, Data Engineers, Designers, and Product Managers, actively participate in the Codam mentorship program. It was a valuable way to foster growth, both for them and the next generation of tech talent.
