When I was a grad student at Stanford she was one of the TAs for the main ML class (CS229). I can personally attest that she has solid technical skills and is quite sharp. (I got my PhD in EE at Stanford around the same time)

Ok, I'll take your word for it, I guess I was wrong about the technical skills bit. Looking at her career path I still get the impression that she's more interested in social activism within technical companies than engineering though.
