From Village Teacher to WordPress Expert and Our WordPress Lead – Daxa Narola’s Unconventional Tech Journey!

At Flex Solutions, we believe that every journey in tech is unique, shaped by challenges, perseverance, and passion. As we celebrate the spirit of Women’s Day, we take this opportunity to highlight the inspiring story of Daxa Narola, our WordPress Lead.

Her journey into the IT world shows the power of resilience, learning, and breaking barriers. These qualities not only define her path but also inspire many women who are making their mark in technology. Daxa’s story is a reminder that with determination and the right support, women can succeed in any field they choose.

A Passion for Technology, A Journey Full of Twists

Daxa’s love for computers started in 12th grade, sparking a passion that led her to pursue a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA). However, despite her enthusiasm, she faced a significant challenge—her college education lacked structured coding guidance, making self-learning difficult.

Determined to enter the tech industry, she completed her degree, but due to certain circumstances, she couldn’t immediately join an IT company. Instead, she took up a teaching job at an English medium school in her village. While teaching was fulfilling, Daxa knew that her true calling lay in technology and software development.

Overcoming Challenges and Embracing WordPress

When she finally got the chance to step into the IT industry, she initially aspired to become a Laravel developer. However, the available opportunity at the time was in WordPress development. Encouraged by her manager, she took on the challenge of learning a completely new technology from scratch.

Starting with no prior WordPress experience was hard, but Daxa’s dedication, willingness to learn, and the support of mentors helped her transition smoothly. She quickly mastered WordPress development, gained hands-on experience in Gutenberg, React.js, backend development, and CodeIgniter, and became an integral part of the Flex Solutions team.

Bridging the Gap and Growing in Confidence

One of the biggest obstacles in Daxa’s journey was the career gap between graduation and entering the IT industry. After spending two to three years as a teacher, she had to refresh her technical knowledge, keep up with industry trends, and rebuild her confidence.

Another challenge was improving her English communication skills, an essential aspect of collaborating with teams and clients in the tech world. Through constant learning and practice, she overcame this barrier, proving that with effort and determination, anything is possible.

Thriving at Flex Solutions

Since joining Flex Solutions, Daxa has grown tremendously as a developer. Debugging and problem-solving have become second nature to her, and she continues to push her boundaries by exploring new technologies like Next.js

What she values most is the positive and collaborative work culture at Flex Solutions. She believes that having a supportive manager and a great team makes even the toughest challenges easier to overcome. A workplace that encourages learning, growth, and innovation has been key to her success.

An Inspiring Message for Women in Tech

Daxa’s journey is a powerful reminder that success in tech is not about how you start, but about your commitment to learning and growth. She shares this message for aspiring women in the industry:

“Believe in yourself. You don’t need to have all the knowledge at the start; what matters is your willingness to learn and adapt. Seek mentors, stay curious, and never hesitate to step out of your comfort zone.”

At Flex Solutions, we are proud to have strong, talented individuals like Daxa, who inspire us every day with their perseverance and dedication.
