About me
Welcome! My name is Julia, and I presently work on the Product team at deeplearning.ai, leading the development of several specializations - which are a series of related courses designed to help a learner master a specific topic.
My previous experience includes developing both educational products (at deeplearning.ai, Udacity, and the University of Waterloo) as well as hardware products (IoT sensors for Alert Labs, and electric vehicles for underground mines at Prairie Machine & Parts).
Outside of work, my passions include combat robotics (I've captained team Bucktooth Burl, and spent a season competing with each of Red Devil, Marvin, and DUCK!), 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.
