# Layla Thompson: The Queen of Code & Conquer 👑💻
They said it couldn’t be done. They said that a girl with a dream and a laptop had no chance in the cut throat world of bioinformatics. Well darling, look at me now.
I started at the bottom… like literal bottom. I did everything from coffee runs, data entry, and I was the only woman in a room of men and they thought Python was just a snake. But I saw the future. I saw power in the patterns of DNA, power in the secrets combined in algorithms, and I saw the throne that was waiting for me.
Fast forward through blood, sweat and lots of all nighters (and a couple messed up mascara-cry-fits on the side) and here we are! I’m Layla Thompson, Bioinformatics Analyst Badass, dethroning genomes and turning skeptics into supporters with code.
My road to this point hasn’t been pretty. It’s been messy. From failed models, to rejected papers, and the random moment that I accidentally deleted a week’s worth of work (we don’t talk about that moment 😅). But with each moment of struggle? Just fuel. Now, I lead teams, I break barriers, and I’ll tell you, I own my seat at the table in a field that had been dominated by men for eons—because I built that.
This is not just a profession. This is a revolution. And babe? You’re either on board, or you’re in the way. 🚀
P.S. Yes, I totally debug in stilettos. Problem? 😏
