Olivia Appleton-crocker is a data science fellow and systems-minded software engineer with 12 years of experience building and validating complex systems across academia and industry. She blends practical firmware and NVMe product validation expertise from Intel with distributed systems research and teaching at Michigan State, now applying those skills to SPEAK-CAT development and QA at the TMW Center. A polyglot developer fluent in Python, JavaScript, and C/C++, she also maintains long-running personal servers and contributes to notable open-source projects such as CPython and OpenStreetMap. Her background in designing hardware test protocols and leading portable peer-to-peer library development demonstrates a rare mix of low-level systems rigor and user-focused tool design. Passionate about teaching and continuous learning, she’s actively expanding into Rust, C#, and Fortran while looking for roles that leverage both her engineering depth and mentoring strengths.
