Madalina decided to enter the computer world after seeing a movie about hackers. Since then, she hacked multiple software engineering departments, starting with quality assurance and continuing with development. Searching for a bigger playground, she discovered customer’s support. She is a member of the Spirent team teaching and assisting customers and colleagues to hack the TTCN-3 language and products developed with it across different domains like Telecommunications, Automotive and Industrial Automation. Madalina is a co-founder of Tupu.io, a mentoring foundation, helping women, people of color and other underrepresented gender get and advance in a career in tech. In her free time she enjoys hiking (partially because at the end of any tour there is a tasty treat waiting), biking with the speed of light on the way to her child’s school and any race she is challenged to by her child.
