🎙 Anne Barela, Adafruit Engineer // Hackster Café

Anne Barela is a multi-talented hardware magician. Although you may know her from the weekly Python on Microcontrollers newsletter – or her recent graphical floppy drive project – she has also been a Security Engineer and Diplomat for the US Department of State, and has further experience with NASA and Maker Faires. We sit down to chat about restoring vintage IBM computers, publishing books on electronics, and so much more!
