After starting and running a network integrator for 10 years, I co-founded a digital marketing firm in 2012 that focuses on web and mobile apps. To fast-track my skills, I took a job at a high tech creative agency with their own PaaS (Platform as a Service) that is sophisticated enough to produce a horse race betting mobile application SaaS (Software as a Service) for a prestigious race track pushing millions of dollars through the app during the first season the app was launched.  Technology is changing so quickly, I had to align myself with an expert in the space of digital marketing, digital advertising, mobile applications databases and content management systems. In July of 2015 we agreed to end our alliance.

I am a futurist and am constantly looking for ways to improve existing products. As a fan and hobbyist, I love 3D printing technology, virtual reality (desktop and mobile ie Google #IAmCardboard), wearables (Muse brain sensing headband for meditation, Apple watch, Droid watch, FitBit, etc.), Internet of Things aka IoT, space travel, robotics, drones, artificial intelligence and am particularly fascinated by technologies like the Deka Arm - it helps people who have lost a limb.  I’m also keeping an eye on machine learning, quant applications, avatar technology and carbon nanotubes technology. I was lucky enough to take a tour of SpaceX (and learned the Tesla factory in Fremont is similar but bigger and the robots all have names). I’m highly interested in making a robot companion for dogs and am currently looking to create with DNA scientists, artificial intelligence engineers (any), chemists with experience in agriculture, drone hardware/software architects and anything related to space travel – please contact me to discuss concepts: julie.fogg.2006 @ anderson .ucla .edu
