About Me

Hello! I’m Brittany, or Fierra. I’m a Cambridge-based tech enthusiast that loves deliving into a wide range of disciplines to build projects. My joy in life is found through learning as much as I can in order to find self-sufficiency in bringing ideas to life.

I’m particularly interested in open-source hardware/software to achieve this goal and want to empower others to do the same. I also run the open-source dance pad project RE:Flex Dance.
