SmartBear, a leading provider of software quality and visibility solutions, named Jamie McNulty, Lead Product Owner of API Platforms at Lumen Technologies, as the recipient of its Q3 Women in Tech Award. Celebrating individuals who demonstrate passion, dedication, and a can-do spirit in technology, SmartBear’s Women in Tech Award recognizes various contributions to teams and organizations through positive impact, team energy, and skills. To celebrate the exceptional work of its customers, SmartBear launched a quarterly awards program this year to highlight extraordinary achievements in software quality, software for good, women in tech, and developer visibility. 

“Diversity in tech is essential for broadening perspectives, better problem-solving, and driving innovation in a more equitable industry, and SmartBear is dedicated to increasing the representation of women,” said Maureen Plowman, SVP of Brand and Corporate Communications at SmartBear. “We are inspired by the commitment of so many women in the tech industry and strive to celebrate the women in our customer organizations who are making a difference in their teams and organizations. Our Women in Tech Award acknowledges the important work women in tech are doing every day – from coding and debugging to collaborating, accelerating innovation, and so much more. Congratulations to Jamie McNulty for her outstanding achievements and contributions to the tech industry. She is a true embodiment of this award." 

For nearly three years as Product Owner of API Platforms, Jamie has been spearheading various projects, including enhancing the adoption and effective use of SwaggerHub, SmartBear’s award-winning API design and documentation tool, at Lumen Technologies. She has coordinated with SmartBear to host bi-weekly training sessions for new SwaggerHub adopters, organized best practice sessions for long-time users, and provided proactive suggestions to improve training materials to ensure all SwaggerHub customers, not just those at Lumen Technologies, have access to top-tier resources, among many other initiatives.  

“Having worked closely with Jamie, she is known for her openness and honesty, strong communication skills, can-do attitude, friendliness, and timely responses, all of which have made her an invaluable partner in our collaborative efforts,” said Liz Victor, Account Manager, API Lifecycle at SmartBear. “Jamie’s ambitious contributions to Lumen Technologies and the SwaggerHub community reflect the high standards and forward-thinking mindset that SmartBear’s Women in Tech Award spotlights. Her dedication to excellence and continuous improvement in software quality makes her the ideal recipient of this award.” 

“I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to grow and develop as a tech professional, and thankful to SmartBear for recognizing my impact,” said Jamie McNulty. "I'm honored to receive this award and appreciative for the support of my team and colleagues. Together, we can all make a difference toward the continued advancement of the software industry."
