Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolErin Clark is an experienced software engineer and educator with 11 years in storage-focused engineering and a strong foundation in Angular, JavaScript, Python, and Unix/Linux. She led UI engineering for the open-source TrueNAS/FreeNAS product line—shipping complex features like ZFS encryption, ACLs, HA support, and translation tooling—while mentoring a team and shepherding community contributions. Her backend work on the TrueNAS middleware improved storage management, snapshot handling, and disk health monitoring, reflecting a pragmatic full-stack sensibility rarely found in UI leads. Now based in Kansas City, she combines hands-on tutoring and teaching fellowship experience with production-grade systems expertise, making her equally at home debugging Active Directory/LDAP issues or designing user-facing storage workflows. Her background blends long-term operational experience (FreeBSD/VMware/sysadmin) with applied computer science training from Truman State, giving her a practical, systems-oriented approach to software problems.
