Biography
Araine Greer, known as FashionTECHDiva, did not follow a traditional path into technology,she built one! After motherhood ended the fashion career she once dreamed of, she started over, learned to code using SQL Server, earned a Microsoft certification, and transformed a leap of faith into a 13-year career in tech. Today, as a Senior Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, she helps organizations design cloud, data, and AI solutions while inspiring and mentoring others. Her story challenges people to view disruption differently: to pivot with purpose, embrace lifelong learning, and believe that new beginnings can lead to extraordinary success.
