Judy has been a Software Engineer for over thirty-five years, and works at EITR Technologies.
She has also functioned as a Systems Engineer, Project Manager, ScrumMaster, and a CD store clerk.
She was lucky enough to have started programming in the 19XXes when her Dad brought home a PDP-8 - she eventually progressed from paper-tape and punched cards to more modern computing systems.
When not at work, Judy can be found baking treats for family, friends, and coworkers; attending hockey games and rock concerts; or trying to finish a good book.
Judy also loves to volunteer, especially in events that promote diversity in technology.
Proof of her dedication to this cause is the fact that both of her awesome daughters are engineers

- Diversity in Tech Conference with Amanda Arnold - 7 November 2016
- In this session we will address common barriers to success for women in technology and address issues that must be touched in order to enable cultural change (policy- pipeline- and advocacy). Together with the group we will build a potential survey for employees the answers to which will provide a starting place for culture realignment planning. Attendees will be encouraged to answer their survey honestly and use it to work toward change in their corporate culture. They will also identify personnel in their company who they think can help them to implement these changes. We will also talk about engagement- policy adjustments- and the importance of visibility.
