Margaret Hamilton

Portrait of Margaret Hamilton painted with the first colour palette of Huely*.

Margaret Hamilton is a computer scientists who worked at the MIT Instrument Laboratory which developed the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo programme. She also coined the term “Software engineer”.

* Huely is a limited colour palette challenge I run during July. The name is the combination of Hue (colour) and the month its held (July). For each image I use a maximum of 5 colours (+ black and white) to paint my images.
