Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHolly Chiang is a software engineer based in Palo Alto with a decade of experience focused on systems programming and embedded systems. She holds advanced training from Stanford (PhD-level work in electrical engineering) and a strong academic foundation in computer engineering from the University of Michigan, graduating near the top of her class. Holly has applied low-level systems expertise across industry-leading teams at Apple and Google, where she built performance regression frameworks and sped up kernel resource statistics by over 40%. Her teaching and research roles at Stanford included guiding students to build bare-metal operating systems on Raspberry Pi, reflecting a hands-on, hardware-aware approach to software. Comfortable bridging research and production, she brings deep curiosity about system internals and an ability to translate academic rigor into practical, high-impact engineering at scale.
