Ekaterina Kapranova

I am a backend engineer at SoundCloud with a passion for solving technical problems and delivering results through fast, incremental progress. I transitioned into tech from social sciences by earning a computer science degree in Germany. My previous background gave me an edge in soft skills and communication, which I believe are often the biggest challenges in software engineering—not technical complexity, but aligning teams and ensuring clear communication. I was fortunate to be mentored by exceptional women and now mentor amazing women, hoping to help pave the way for greater diversity.
