About Me
Hi I’m Katrina!
I earned my B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Manitoba, where I developed an interest in data science and machine learning. During my degree, I co-authored three peer-reviewed papers published by IEEE that explore how data mining and fuzzy logic can help predict health outcomes.
Outside of University, I’ve worked as a freelance developer creating responsive websites, ACID-compliant relational databases, and custom WordPress plugins. I’ve also taught coding to kids ages 6-18, which enhanced my ability to communicate problems and solutions to individuals of varying skill levels and learning styles.
When I’m not writing code, I like to spend my time watching the Winnipeg Jets and crocheting, hanging out with my dog, and playing video games.
