Melissa Trebell is a full stack engineer for Punchcard Systems (Previously at TrustBix). Although she had an affinity for computers in high school, Melissa wasn’t sure if this was something she wanted to pursue in university. By a stroke of luck, she was introduced to a woman that worked for HP and encouraged her to get into the field. We learn about Melissa’s journey from C++ to Go, the agrifood industry, and the importance of mentorship.
