About

Natalia Kurikova

Kia ora, I’m Natalia and I’m a learning technologist with a background in language education. Over time, I found myself drawn to the ways technology can make learning more accessible, flexible, and engaging.

These days, I work at the University of Canterbury, where I support Moodle and Totara platforms and collaborate with amazing teams to build digital learning solutions that work for life-long learners. With a mix of hands-on tech skills and a solid grounding in teaching and applied linguistics, I love finding smart, practical ways to make online learning smoother for everyone involved.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring personal knowledge management tools like Obsidian, tinkering with self-hosted apps, and diving into whatever has most recently sparked my curiosity. I’m also a firm believer in the power of well-designed systems — both technical and personal — to make life more organised, intentional, and rewarding.
