Ghizlane Aroussi

Ghizlane Aroussi

Hi there !
For the past five years, I've been on a rewarding journey as an engineering manager—leading teams, learning continuously, and striving to make work just a little more human (and fun!).
Before stepping into management, I rolled up my sleeves as a 3D developer then a full stack engineer, building web and mobile experiences and solving bugs :)

Today, I have the joy (and sometimes the challenge!) of managing both a vibrant team of software engineers and a dynamic group of RPA engineers. My mission? To design reliable and scalable systems and to foster a culture where experimentation is encouraged and where everyone feels they’re in the right place.

People, communication patterns, and the ever-evolving world of work fascinate me. I’m especially intrigued by how AI will reshape our jobs.

At PayFit, I’m currently navigating our transition to Domain-Driven Design while experimenting with team topologies, the 360 impact on the organization business, people and tech wise is fascinating.

I believe in tackling technical debt gracefully and my goal is to do so while delivering business value and empowering teams to take ownership and make decisions.

More than happy to share my learnings and acquire new ideas on the way!

With over 20 years of experience in the video gaming industry, primarily in leadership roles, I've managed multicultural teams, fostering a diverse and inclusive environment.

Like any journey, mine has had its share of challenges, including imposter syndrome, redundancy and burnout. But these experiences have only strengthened my determination and deepened my understanding of the struggles others may face.

Today, I share my insights on overcoming self-doubt and reclaiming empowerment at various conventions. In addition to public speaking and team workshops, I offer one-on-one coaching sessions in a supportive, empowering, and non-judgemental environment.

I live in Brighton and, when I'm not coaching, you can find me training for running events, chasing after my two mischievous dogs, or playing detective to figure out what my teenagers are up to (hey, no one's perfect, right?).
