Brianna Taylor Vaughn: The Nomadic Ninja Engineer 🌍⚡

"I literally built myself out of junk and broken dreams—now I get paid to build the future while I chase sunsets in every time zone."

Once upon a time, I was just a little girl in a rusty Midwest town fine-tuning broken toasters because my family could not afford new ones. My dad left when I was 8, my mom worked 3 jobs (and still does), and I spent dark nights crying over calculus homework by candlelight because the power was out. 💔 But pain? Oh, pain became my super power. I learned to hustle when I was starving and taught myself to code on a library computer in 20 minutes time-limits. When I was 17, I sold my first robot—a cumbersome clump of wires—to pay for college. They laughed when I said I would be a Robotics Engineer. Joke's on them.

Fast-forward, I have designed AI for rovers to Mars—yet my spirit is free and unbridaled. I left a 9 to 5 job to travel the world with a backpack and soldering iron, fixing robots for startups in Bali, dancing with nomads in Morocco, and co-ed sleeping in hacker hostels in Iceland. 🛠️🌌 Wanna hear a secret? I once debugged a drone over campfire ramen and it was totally worth it.

Why follow me? Because I am the paranoid scientist you need to learn how you can 3D print your dreams while falling off a cliff while doing it. My life is a blueprint of guts, glam, and pepper spray and I want you to know that you can also turn any broken circuit into a revolution. 🔥

P.S. I will always keep that first robot on my shelf. It whispers at me every day, 'You built this. Now build a world.'
