embedded software, pcbs

hi, i'm alice herston! currently, i'm writing Bluespec code and micro-architecting the MatX One chip. my career's purpose is to build things that bring joy and abundance.

i'm currently exploring & attempting to tackle the areas of largest impact in the climate crisis. please reach out if this is something you work on or think about often!

previously:
  • built fpga software and pcbs for the reactor protection systems in kairos power's reactor fleet.
  • graduated from u.c. berkeley eecs at 19 (& was your moffitt night shift security guard throughout😋)
  • built embedded software for autonomous tractors.

in my free time, i enjoy:

hondie is my '97 honda accord that i bought for $400 at the beginning of college. she still runs smooth, just needs a little TLC sometimes <3
