Turning Imposter Syndrome into a Tech Superpower

What happens when the path you planned doesn't pan out - yet leads you somewhere better?

In this episode of Tech Inspired, we meet Intissar “Inti” Ghozlani, a back-end software engineer at Swiss digital bank Alpian. She’s reshaping how we think about women in tech - and showing that confidence isn't a requirement to start, it's a result of staying in the game.

From growing up in Tunisia with access to both science and the arts, to battling silent self-doubt during her early career in Europe, Inti opens up about her journey through fear, failure, and finding her voice in tech. She shares what it really felt like to step into rooms where she thought everyone else “just knew” - and how she learned the truth behind the imposter syndrome illusion.

💡 What you’ll take away from this episode:

Why early career struggles don’t mean you’re in the wrong place - and what helped her push through them.
What it’s like to be a woman of colour navigating tech in Europe - and why representation still matters.
The power of emotionally intelligent workplaces - and how they can make or break your growth.
Why asking the “stupid question” might actually be your smartest move.
Her take on why domain knowledge matters in tech - and how working in finance changed her own mindset about money.

This is an honest, empowering conversation for anyone who’s ever doubted they belonged in tech - but showed up anyway.

🎧 Tune in now and get inspired by Inti’s story of resilience, self-awareness and rewriting the rules of what a tech journey should look like.
