Hi, I'm Yele

Let's be honest: being a woman in tech has never been easy. But right now? It's a whole different level of hard.

AI is reshaping everything — roles are shifting, layoffs are constant, and the pressure to "stay relevant" feels relentless. If you're feeling anxious, overlooked, or uncertain about your future, you're not alone. I hear it every day from brilliant women who are questioning their place in this industry.

I've spent nearly 20 years in the trenches of tech — building teams, shipping products, hiring and promoting talent. I've seen how the system works, and I've seen how often it fails women. That's exactly why I built this program.

At Instacart, I launched a Women's Coaching Program that had over 200 women sign up, resulting in 53 coaching groups. I've done this before — and I know it works.

You don't need to shrink. You don't need to wait to be picked. You need the right mindset, the right tools, the right support, and a space where you can finally be heard. That's what Coded for Growth is here to give you.

Coded for Growth isn't just a name — it's a philosophy. The belief that who you are right now isn't fixed. You can refactor. You can deploy a new version. Growth is always possible because you have access to the source code. You are the driver. You have control.

Sound familiar?

The tech industry presents unique challenges for women. You're not alone in facing them.

Worried about AI & change

Everyone's talking about AI, but no one's telling you how to actually navigate it. Your skills feel uncertain, the pressure to upskill is relentless, and the flood of tools is overwhelming. You don't know where to start — or if starting even matters.

Struggling to be heard

Your ideas get overlooked in meetings, or credited to someone else. You're tired of having to fight for your voice.

Underselling yourself

You know you deserve more — a promotion, a raise, better projects — but asking for it feels uncomfortable or impossible.

Feeling isolated

You're often the only woman in the room. It's exhausting navigating a male-dominated environment without support.

Burning out on balance

Between work demands and life responsibilities — especially with kids — you're running on empty with no clear path forward.

Questioning your future

You're considering leaving tech entirely. The industry feels unwelcoming, and you're not sure if staying is worth the fight.
