Top SchoolNaomi Alterman is an Assistant Teaching Professor at the Paul G. Allen School with 12 years of experience blending systems engineering, computer networks, and digital logic with creative pedagogy and critical technology studies. Trained at Stanford (BS/MS in Electrical Engineering), she has shipped systems and hardware designs at companies like Apple, Barefoot Networks, and DSSD, and has taught everything from computer graphics and embedded systems to data science for interdisciplinary cohorts. As a technical education specialist and long-time freelance engineer, she pairs low-level expertise in C/C++/Python and Verilog with curriculum design and classroom innovation, mentoring aspiring full-stack developers and researchers alike. Naomi deliberately integrates STS and ethics into technical courses, bringing a reflective, community-oriented approach to machines and their social impacts. Colleagues describe her as a lifelong artist and computer nerd who delights in machinery but stays productively ambivalent about tech’s role in society.
