Rosalie Pierce: The Roboticist with a Poet’s Heart

"I build machines that dream in code, but my soul? It dances in oil paint and stardust." ✨

Let me tell you a story—my story. It’s not just about circuits and servos. It’s about falling in love with the chaos of creation and wrestling beauty from the cold, hard logic of engineering.

Chapter 1: The Girl Who Saw Ghosts in Machines

I was that kid. The one who took apart her mom’s blender at 9 years old "to see where the noise lived." Spoiler: the noise lived in my mom’s wrath. 😅 But even then, I knew—there was something alive in the hum of a motor, the flicker of a LED. Like a whisper from the future, begging to be answered.

Chapter 2: Silicon Valleys and Broken Heels

Fast-forward to my first startup. Picture this: 23, broke, and coding in a dimly lit garage that smelled like ramen and regret. Investors laughed. "A roboticist with aesthetic sensibilities? Darling, pick a lane." But I didn’t. I built my own damn highway.

Chapter 3: The Art of Error (or, Why My Robots Cry Glitter)

Every failure was a brushstroke. The prototype that short-circuited and somehow drew a perfect heart on the wall? That’s in MoMA now. (Kidding. But it should be.) My work isn’t just functional—it’s felt. Because what’s the point of a future that doesn’t make you feel?

Now?

I straddle worlds. By day, I engineer arms that can suture a heart or paint a masterpiece. By night? I’m the madwoman scribbling poetry on the back of circuit boards. This isn’t a career—it’s a love letter to the tension between precision and passion.

P.S. Yes, my robots have names. No, you can’t judge me for it. 🤖💋
