ABOUT ME
Professional, passionate software engineer
Professional, passionate software engineer

Hi, I'm a professional software engineer with 10+ years working in aerospace, biotech, data visualization and more.
I last worked at SpaceX for 3 years working on a C++ simulation analysis toolkit and a WebGL based visualizer for the simulation. I am particularly skilled at designing architectures that allow developers to quickly test and iterate on their code. I am used to being in fast paced work environments, and can keep code stable and tested while creating prototypes as fast as possible.

I also specialize in graphics, UI/UX, and visualization- I done several projects that combine sleek, intuitive interfaces with powerful and insightful data visualization.

I am skilled in:

  • C++
  • Python
  • Javascript
  • Computer Vision
  • Basic Machine Learning
  • Data Analysis
  • Docker
  • Rust
  • React + Redux
  • Software Architecture
  • Functional Programming
  • Linux
  • OpenGL / GLSL / vulkan
  • Signal Processing
  • Web APIs
  • Flask / Web Servers
  • Vim / Vimscript

Look forward to meeting you!

A very sophisticated expert in computer networks beyond a surface-level understanding that I would otherwise find on the internet or even in the best textbooks on this subject.
