Summary
🤩
RockstarFiona Hopkins is a software engineer based in Cambridge, MA with 13 years of experience building both front-end frameworks and embedded systems. She contributes to open-source projects such as Stencil.js core—improving cross-browser polyfills and configuration for scalable web components—and the atsamd Rust crates, where she implemented UART/I2C integrations for Adafruit boards. Her work spans civic and product engineering (currently on voting services for the Democrats and formerly at Google Fabric, the City of Boston, and Upstream Tech), giving her a pragmatic, user-focused perspective. Comfortable moving between UI component toolchains and low-level hardware, she pairs technical breadth with a collaborative, kindness-first approach to development.
