Alex creates electronic projects, tutorials, unboxings, and video interviews with hardware luminaries as the lead Hardware Nerd at Hackster.io – the online community for hardware developers. She also occasionally produces videos and/or assists with events for companies such as Arduino and Edge Impulse.
Alex can be found at events worldwide with her AI-powered robotic owl familiar, Archimedes – as well as F3NR1R the fennec fox and Roko the raccoon! She weaves together DIY sustainability solutions, music, wearable tech / biohacking, languages, creative bike light systems, holography, and more.
Her highest priority is building and enabling sustainability among hardware ennthusiasts – via Green-EE (a directory of resources + inspiration for those building and selling HW), as well as open-source electronics tutorials.
Alex grew into hardware through FIRST Robotics; served as a director of hackerspaces AHA (2010-11) and Noisebridge (2013); and was an Instructables/Autodesk Artist in Residence at Pier 9 (2014). She’s also been featured in Make: Magazine, the Adafruit blog, Hackspace Magazine / MagPi, This Week in Tech, Recomendo, and more.
