Computer Programmer'
Lovelace got this name due to her comments on Charles
Babbage's invention, the Analytical Engine. She introduced a number of computer
concepts, thus resulting in her being considered the first computer programmer.

It wasn't until over 100 years after her death that the
notes she made about Babbage's invention were republished and have now made the
engine become recognised as an early computer model, with her notes being a
description of the engine, and software.
