Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEmily Herbert is a Product Engineer based in the New York City area with nine years of experience building compilers and backend systems, most recently contributing to compiler and product work at TAHO. She spent two years as a Rust-focused compiler developer at Fuel Labs where she made substantive refactors and implemented type-checking, trait systems, and enum support for the Sway smart-contract compiler—an open-source project used across the blockchain tooling ecosystem. Emily combines academic research experience from UMass Amherst and Northeastern with industry internships at Google, GE, and NASA, giving her a strong grounding in both theory and production engineering. Colleagues know her for simplifying complex compiler internals and for shipping robust, well-tested code that bridges research ideas and real-world developer tooling.
