Julie Heckman

Julie Heckman has channeled a love for math that began with high school algebra and calculus into a career converting data into opportunities for insurance, healthcare, and financial services clients. With a Master of Arts degree in Mathematics from the University of Idaho, and earlier a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Math Education from the University of Missouri, she initially taught high school math. Spurred by an interest in the financial markets, she then joined an equities firm and later became a software developer who used Big Data to help stock traders evaluate their strategies, facilitating millions of stock trades annually.

Julie later worked for agriculture and financial technology startups where she used Big Data, streaming, and traditional databases to find, identify, and manage data, making it useful and actionable for peers and leaders. But as she also learned, working at a startup becomes less about discovery, and more about production and implementation, as the company scales and matures.

Ever curious, Julie came to Right Triangle Consulting in 2020 and now has years of experience using proven data engineering expertise to help clients migrate their data to cloud applications. There, the data’s integrity can be maintained or used for hypotheses testing, analysis, and reporting.
