Holly Hudson

Holly has been a DIY tech enthusiast ever since joining her local hackerspace and discovering that with a cheap microcontroller and some basic programming knowledge you could make things blink and move in the real world.  She enjoys sharing what she learns, teaching numerous arduino, programming, and learn-to-solder classes to adults and children at hackerspaces and schools.

She has also volunteered teaching journalists and activists to use privacy tools, and she is commited to autonomy-preserving, decentralized tech and supports strong, enforceable policies against profit- and surveillance-driven data mining.
