Hailing from diverse backgrounds in politics, economics, and computer engineering, Subin and Gabi found their true calling in the tech realm at Foundry, a company that prides itself on fostering innovation and personal growth.

With a background in computer engineering, she was equipped with a solid foundation in software development. However, it was her master’s degree in computer animation and visual effects that catapulted her into a role that marries her technical skills with her creative interests.
