Summary
Julia Connelly is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building reliable, data-driven systems across healthcare and communications platforms. She has progressed through engineering and platform roles at GE HealthCare before joining Motorola Solutions, demonstrating growth from hands-on software development to senior engineering responsibilities. Her background blends strong academic foundations—a CS BA and an MS from Johns Hopkins—with practical experience in C#, Java, SQL, and test-driven development gained during internships and research projects. Comfortable leading small teams and cross-functional efforts, she brings solid leadership and organizational skills honed in theater production and stand management roles. Known for being curious and quick to learn, she pairs pragmatic problem-solving with a focus on shipping maintainable software in regulated industries. An often-overlooked strength is her early work building educational tools (a Git teaching client) that reflect a knack for designing developer-facing experiences.
