Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKate Sills is a software engineer with 12 years of experience who blends deep technical expertise in cryptography, secure distributed systems, and smart contracts with a genuine commitment to community and land stewardship. A UC Berkeley alum in Computer Science and Cognitive Science, she was the first hire at Agoric where she led the Zoe smart contract framework and redesigned asset/property tooling, and later architected authenticated photo-metadata systems with Stanford’s Starling Lab to combat AI-generated fakery. Raised on an organic farm north of Sacramento and now based in Sonora, she applies practical, agricultural-minded problem solving to design secure, auditable software for real-world problems. Beyond engineering, she edited and published a regional writers’ anthology, serves as Treasurer for the Sonora Writers Group, is a master gardener and lead singer in a traditional country band—roles that reflect her talent for organizing diverse teams and communicating complex ideas to nontechnical audiences. Her work often sits at the intersection of computer science and law, translating legal concepts like property and authority into enforceable code and protocols.
