Fabienne Serriere Founder, KnitYak
Fabienne Serriere is a French-American hardware hacker. She is currently working full time on her Kickstarter-funded company, KnitYak in Seattle, to bring scriptable custom one-off knitwear to everyone. After five years of open sourcing hardware and software and textile techniques for out of print 80’s consumer knitting machines, she upgraded to a modern 3000 pound industrial knitting machine. She loves all things *nix, open hardware, vintage hardware, ham radio (K7FP), sdr, mathematics, storage clusters, language learning (spoken and computer), and hopes someday to fly to spaaaaaaace.
