About

Hi! I am Emily, a solutions engineer at Akuity, a GitOps & Argo enthusiast, and a CNCF Ambassador. I am an active contributor to various open-source projects, and an advocate for diversity and inclusion. I am involved with translation and localization of numerous documentations for open-source projects, including the CNCF Glossary and the ebpf.io website. Having completed a degree in electrical and computer engineering, I have deep interests machine learning and biomedical engineering. I am a current contributor to the scikit-learn machine learning library, and I have previously done research work on neural engineering and rehabilitation. If you would like to chat (about literally anything), please shoot me a message! My DMs are always open.
