About me
Welcome! My name is Julia, and I am presently employed as an Embedded Software Developer at Alert Labs. We make cellular-linked water (& AC) sensors to help you monitor & protect your property.
Prior to this, I worked as a Content Developer at Udacity, developing content for the Deep Learning and Robotics Software Engineer Nanodegree Programs.
I have also worked at the University of Waterloo with the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, in an instructor role, and prior to that I worked at Prairie Machine & Parts designing and building electric vehicles for underground mines.
Outside of work, my passions include combat robotics (I've captained team Bucktooth Burl, and spent a season competing with each of Red Devil and Marvin), As well, I love the outdoors so I try to get out every weekend and explore. Everything from cross country skiing and snowshoeing, to canoeing, hiking, biking, and downhill sports.
Travel is my biggest passion. I feel quite comfortable when I'm in a foreign country, my life is packed away in my backpack, and I'm hanging out with locals - be it through couchsurfing, hitch-hiking or just chatting at a bar. My travel page highlights where I've been and what I've seen.
