Hey, I’m Julie
I’m a PhD student at McMaster University in the Astrobiology Collaborative Program. I’ve been coding for 8 years now, mostly in Python and R. In the past couple of years, I’ve won several Python app building competitions. Since 2020, I also teach coding and data science in private coding schools. I noticed that unless students are enrolled in a computer science degree, they probably won’t get enough exposure to essential coding and problem-solving skills. That’s why I created Code On Campus :)
