Known on GitHub as a self-described "Hacker of Things," she brings a playful, maker mindset—also reflected in her long-running LEGO Unicorn Hacker project—that informs creative problem solving. Her background in simulating manufacturing and public-health modeling gives her a rare intersection of systems thinking, real-world engineering constraints, and product-focused delivery.
