I am an Aerospace Simulation Software Engineer with a B.S. in
Aerospace Engineering and a lifelong passion for writing code. I'm
deeply committed to making the world a better place with
high-quality software. My experience ranges from doing data
science on orbital debris to enable advanced characterization using
Rust and Julia to developing high-fidelity models for GNC algorithm
validation of rockets in C++ to creating highly extensible simulation
orchestrators using Docker and Python.

<ul>
<li>
Early hire for the Lunar Permanence Business unit, established to
fulfill a NASA contract to build a human-rated lunar lander, where I
served as a core member of the simulation software team.
Founding simulation software engineer to build a human-rated Lunar
lander in support of NASA's Lunar program.
</li>
<li>
Pathfinded hardware mocking capabilities in C++ that enabled a
completely software simulation environment.
Maintained Python based post-processing pipeline for spacecraft
data, including custom Docker monitoring with PyArrow, modifying
proprietary NASA software, data transformation with Pandas, and
archiving data in HDF5.
</li>
<li>
Created bespoke test case management software in Python for writing,
publishing and tracking. I solely developed this project and leaned
heavily on the idea of fully automating processes, and working
closely with stakeholders to understand needs and blockers. Final
product led to an immediate 10x increase in productivity month over
month.
Developed hardware mocking capabilities using C++ that enabled an
entirely software simulation environment. Built a hardware-agnostic
interface that enabled mocking without directly interacting with
simulation or hardware protocols.
</li>
<li>
Owned development environment for flight software teams, eliminating
setup friction and reducing onboarding time from days to an hour.
Consistently pushed for modern tooling and evolved workflows to meet
demands of a growing team.
Developed bespoke test case document management software in Python
for writing, publishing, and tracking. Identified major blockers for
a customer team, and worked independently on a prototype with a
strong emphasis on completely automated tooling to streamline test
case development. Final product led to an immediate 10x increase in
productivity for the 20 person team.
</li>
<li>
Split time working within customer teams to ensure simulation
software capabilities met testing requirements. Proactively
developed features to eliminate critical roadblocks in the
verification process, and provided ongoing technical guidance.
Owned development environment for the 150 person flight software
team. Consistently pushed for modern tooling and evolved workflows
to meet demands of a growing team. Worked with stakeholders to
ensure compliance with DO-178 while maintaining cutting edge
tooling.

<strong>Technologies used:</strong> Python, Pytest, Pandas, NumPy,
C++, Docker Compose, Docker Dev Containers, GitLab CI/CD, NASA
Trick, Kanban
Worked within customer teams to ensure simulation software
capabilities met testing requirements. Proactively developed
features to eliminate critical roadblocks in the verification
process, and provided technical guidance.
</li>
<li>
Developed custom software on top of Pytest that generated GitLab CI
jobs using Python decorators. Allowed hundreds of automated tests to
remain active while keeping pipelines short and runner usage to a
minimum. Tests would be given a decorator that listed software
dependencies, and a child pipeline would be generated that only
included necessary tests. Reduced runner utilization by 50%.

<ul>
<li>
Architected and delivered the first C++ simulation model for
Vulcan-Centaur rocket that was recognized as one of United Launch
Alliance's major technical achievements of 2022.
Architected and delivered one of the company's major accomplishments
of 2022. The first high-fidelity C++ simulation model for the next
generation Vulcan-Centaur rocket.
</li>
<li>
Modernized a legacy monolithic codebase from the 1980s by replacing
~700k lines of unmaintainable FORTRAN with compiled artifacts. This
change massively improved compilation performance of the codebase,
and allowed streamlining tooling to increase developer productivity.
~700k lines of unmaintainable FORTRAN with compiled artifacts stored
in Artifactory and deployed using Bamboo CI. This reduced
compilation time from over 12 hours to 4 hours, making an overnight
task achievable during the workday.
</li>
<li>
Implemented the team's first CI/CD pipeline to enforce code quality
and introduce automated checks.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Technologies used:</strong> C++, gTest, Matlab, FORTRAN,
Simulink, Python, Atlassian Suite, Redhat Linux, Agile
Introduced the team to automated tooling locally and added pipeline
checks to merge requests. By automating formatting and linting the
team was able to focus on implementation instead of code style.
