Meg Gallagher is a software engineer at Walmart Technology, and her path to this career was not a typical one. She graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in clinical dietetics and spent her first few years after college helping patients with nutritional risks and deficiencies. Though she loved working with patients, she started learning to code on the side and her interest quickly grew. Meg decided to change careers and attended a six-month intensive coding bootcamp where she learned full-stack web development skills and practices. Upon completion, she entered the workforce first as a web content developer, and then she broke into the world of true object-oriented programming as a front-end software engineer. Meg currently develops software to help businesses within Walmart more quickly and efficiently search through very large sets of data. This work implements machine learning to predict and highlight data that might be deemed highly important. Meg also has a passion for working within the community and serves as the Women of Walmart volunteer chair, organizing volunteer events for all women within the Texas Walmart Tech offices!
