Omosola Odetunde<\/a> is a product\/engineering advisor and senior software engineer, but her greatest asset is her versatility – she wears many hats including frontend, backend, research, UX design, and tech lead.<\/p>\n

Omosola is passionate about building great, socially beneficial products and holds great importance on understanding end-users and their needs as a core part of the engineering process.<\/p>\n

At Codemotion Berlin<\/a>, where she delivered her intriguingly-titled presentation, Fantastic data and where to find them<\/strong>, Omosola described how, as a CTO, she is conscious of her responsibility to create a workforce culture which pays attention to ethical consideration.<\/p>\n

I can try and regularly have conversations about how we as a team need to pay attention to the ethics of what we’re building, ask people the right questions so that when they release something they’re not just thinking of numbers and data points, but actually thinking about the human effect of it. If I create a good culture, then I can start encouraging the engineers who work with me to keep that in mind too while they’re building.<\/q><\/p>\n
