Emeritae
Jennifer Tu
On any given day, Jennifer may be found leading an engineering team through a challenging project, coaxing a developer through learning new skills or navigating new experiences, or facilitating workshops that help a team blend their technical challenges with their organizational objectives. After receiving her degree in computer science from MIT, Jennifer's work spanned infrastructure and operations, and good ol' feature delivery. The combination of her technical experience, interpersonal depth, near infinite patience, and nose for nuance creates the ideal management and technical coach (who is still happy to sit down and hammer out code).
Betsy Haibel
For fifteen years, Betsy focused her career on empowering engineers and software teams to think deeply about their business domain and better align their code with stakeholders' domain understanding. Today, you'll find her using Benchling more often than VS Code. As a re-entry undergraduate researcher at UC-Berkeley, she spends her days asking important questions in synthetic biology, like "how will this metal dock on this enzyme?" and "why did that PCR fail?"
