Rae Moar is a software engineer with expertise in developing open-source technical standards used at a global scale, and a focus on how complex digital systems are governed and held accountable. She earned her B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Information and Data Sciences from the California Institute of Technology.

Prior to becoming a TechCongress Fellow, Rae worked at Google as a software engineer, building testing infrastructure for the largest open-source project in the world, the Linux kernel. In this role, she authored a new open-source testing standard, KTAP, and spearheaded consensus at two international conferences. This standard, now adopted globally, was the result of her rigorous infrastructure testing, analysis, and collaboration with developers all over the world. Before Google, she conducted research at Caltech utilizing statistical modeling to predict human pattern recognition.

Through her experience with open-source standards, Rae developed a strong interest in how thoughtful governance shapes real-world technical outcomes. She is interested in digital consumer protection and platform accountability, including data privacy, child online safety, and responsible AI standards. She is committed to advancing policies that make technology safer, more transparent, and more accountable for the systems people rely on every day.
