Summary

I've summarized the text for you. Here's a neutral and interesting paragraph covering key points: A female engineer recounts her experience of being underrepresented in the field, where only around 5% of computer science students are women, despite progress being slower than anticipated. She attributes this to lack of female role models, colleagues, and balancing work-life as a parent, not specifically due to being a woman. However, she finds joy and confidence among like-minded women at Pink Programming events, which aims to create an inspiring environment for all women in tech. Her company partners with Pink Programming, hosting events that promote female engineers and data science education, fostering connections and friendships among participants. The partnership has expanded their networks and encouraged women to pursue IT education and careers.
