{{plainlist| *Email: <juliana.m.louback AT SPAMFREE gmail DOT com> *Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil *Education: Bachelor of Science in Information Systems, class of 2014 <br>How did you hear about this program?: One of my professors recommended it. <br>Experience with Github: I suggested code revisions for Issue #21571, link: https://github.com/xtuple/qt-client/commit/7892bbe30bf345b7f7d4de24afed3b342c7751b0 as per a debian mentor's instructions. <br>Relevant projects: <br>2011-2012: Migrated system from Desktop to Web, added functionalities to a home broker software, created an online testing system for HR triage - Ideais Ltda.; <br>I honed programming skills mainly in Java, learned about Agile Methodologies and Test Driven Development as well as the challenges of running a customer support service for a major e-commerce system. <br>2012: Translated the book Head First C (O'Reilly) from English to Portuguese - Alta Editora <br>This helped me understand more about what's 'under the hood' in C. <br>2013: Developed the Domino Automated Server Analysis software - IBM <br>Acquired more experience in Java development, Web programming, server functionalities, SQL, dynamic XML, and graphing libraries (JFreechart). <br>Projects I am interested in: Improving free financial software packages (Debian). <br>Mentor for the project: Daniel Pocock <br>Other time commitments: I am currently writing a thesis and image analysis/pattern recog system (Dermatologic Diagnosis through Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition) which I started in September, I am to defend my thesis in June. It's an ongoing project. I will be flying to Kuala Lumpur for 2 weeks in January, but I plan to take my work along with me (not to mention you can get a lot of work done on a 30 hour flight). <br>Background: When I began attending university in 2010 I didn't know a bit from a byte. Zero previous knowledge/experience, so it was a very steep learning curve. I was homeschooled until university, so I have no qualms about self-teaching. I am the oldest of 6 aged 21-11, of which 5 are girls. I like learning different languages (fluent in English and Portuguese, proficiency in French, basic German, and about 30 words in Malay). Of course, this extends to programming languages. <br>Why Debian?: I am taking a course on Collaborative Systems, and we have been analyzing the dynamics (among others) of Open Source development. This sparked my interest and I wanted to experience this for myself, see it up close. <br>Applying for other projects in OPW? No. I only heard about OPW yesterday, I am not sure I have the time to apply to other projects and contribute in time. }}
