Who am I, anyway?
(disregard the "Aerospace Fellowship" portion and title, the rest holds up pretty well.)
I could just say I'm a backend dev who likes space and linguistics. However, I'd venture to say that I am just a tad more than that.
I am now in: Holmdel, New Jersey (though a move to Alameda is imminent!)
Came here for the resume? You've found it!Things I am currently involved with:
ATLAS Space OperationsI am a Software Development Engineer at ATLAS Space Operations, a ground station network company that works with getting satellites to downlink and uplink on our antennas using the Freedom API. Friends of Amateur Rocketry: Oxidizers Uninhibited Tournament (FAR-OUT)
I co-created a hybrid- and liquid-engine collegiate rocketry competition together with Peter Tarle. For the 2023-24 year, we have 13 submissions from across the world, so that's pretty rad! Find out more at faroutlaunch.org!
