Alyssa Rosenzweig is a software developer[2] and software freedom activist[3] known for her work on free software graphics drivers.[4][5]

Education

[edit]

Per Rosenzweig's description of her childhood, she grew up in California and came out as a transgender woman at age 10.[6] She was raised Jewish[6] and is now a Quaker.[1]

Rosenzweig attended Dougherty Valley High School, with enrichment classes at Harvard Summer School and the Center for Talented Youth.[7]

As of 2021, she studies mathematics at Innis College at the University of Toronto as a Lester B. Pearson International Scholar.[8][9][7]

Career

[edit]

As a software engineer at Collabora, she led the Panfrost project,[10] developing free software OpenGL drivers for the Mali GPU to support accelerated graphics in upstream Mesa,[11] shipping out-of-the-box on devices like the Pinebook Pro.[12] She left Collabora on 10 April 2023.[13] Since May of 2023, she has worked with Valve Corporation as a contractor.[14]

In September 2020, she wrote a Linux client for the COVID-19 contact tracing used in Canada.[4]

As an Asahi Linux developer, she works on reverse-engineering the Apple GPU for the purpose of porting Linux to the Apple M1 processor[15][16][17] to enable the development of a free software Gallium3D-based OpenGL driver[18] targeting the "AGX" architecture found in the M1 GPU.[19] In July 2021, Rosenzweig demonstrated Debian running bare metal on the Apple M1 with a mainline kernel.[20]

Awards

[edit]

She is the recipient of the 2020 Award for Outstanding New Free Software Contributor[21][22] and a Google Open Source Peer Bonus.[23]
