Isis Anchalee Biography

In 2013, Isis Anchalee (previously Isis Wenger) began training herself to code. She worked as a software developer on the product team at OneLogin, Uber, and, subsequently, Hustle. She is also the creator of the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag, which was developed to stimulate debate about gender equality in IT when OneLogin included her visage in an ad campaign. Anchalee has presented a number of lectures, including at Tech Inclusion New York in 2017 and GHC15 in 2015. She also serves on the Women Who Code Advisory Board. When she got negative comments about her appearance in an ad campaign for OneLogin, Anchalee developed the hashtag #ILookLikeAnEngineer (an example of hashtag activism). Many individuals on the internet questioned Anchalee's credibility as an engineer, stating that her employer must have recruited a model since she was too pretty to be a true engineer. Anchalee responded with a blog post. She shared her photo with the hashtag #ILookLikeANEngineer and encouraged others to do the same. She wanted to challenge stereotypes of what engineers should look like and be like, and to demonstrate that there is actual diversity in engineering. The hashtag grew widespread over the following few months. Thousands of individuals submitted photographs and achievements.
