Speakers

Aline's educational background is in Nanotechnology and Mechanical engineering. During her five years of biomedical engineering experience, Aline discovered her love for analyzing and extracting insights from data. Aline graduated from the inaugural Data Science program in Winter 2019, and is now working as a Data Scientist for Teligence Capital.

Nick is a product designer at Dialpad, a communications software company. At this time last year, he was working part-time in marketing while finishing an economics degree. Nick chose BrainStation to help him transition fully into a UX design — and landed multiple offers for UX designer roles within six weeks of graduating from BrainStation.

Coming from a background in Technology Consulting, Nikki was fortunate to gain experience across the design lifecycle. But it was the creative and problem-solving aspects of design that interested her the most and ultimately led her to pursue the UX Design course at BrainStation to strengthen in knowledge in the area. She is now combining all of those skills as a Product Designer and Manager at LivNao, an early-stage Tech start-up based in Vancouver.

Bruna is a current technical support coach at Unbounce where she makes use of her customer service and web development skills to help customers with their custom and advanced setups.
