Hi! My name is Ashley Kao and I graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in Spring 2025. I currently work as a software engineer.

My interests include computational biology, public transit, aviation, and kayaking. I also like cats.

Here's a picture of a 2019 New Flyer Xcelsior XHE40 AC Transit bus on line 79 at El Cerrito Plaza BART, taken April 20, 2024.

As of August 10th 2025, line 79 (Rockridge BART - El Cerrito Plaza BART) has been discontinued and replaced by lines 27 (Emeryville Amtrak - El Cerrito Plaza BART) and 36 (West Oakland BART - Rockridge BART). Farewell my friend, you will be missed.
