Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLucie Hartmann is a founder and managing director with 13 years of experience building both hardware and the software that runs on it, leading Berlin-based MNT Research to create more sustainable, personal, and transparent computers. She has a strong startup track record as co-founder and CTO at multiple ventures, blending product leadership with hands-on engineering across embedded systems and web backends. Her open-source hardware work includes Verilog development for the MNT VA2000 Amiga graphics card—implementing SDRAM controllers, a DVI encoder, and video capture features—while her backend contributions have optimized real-time collaboration systems by reworking caching and pub/sub layers. Trained in communication and social/economic contexts, she pairs technical depth with user- and community-focused product thinking. Lucie’s profile reveals a rare cross-disciplinary fluency: she moves comfortably from low-level hardware design to pragmatic server-side refactors that improve real-world workflows.
