I am an Aerospace Engineering undergraduate looking for employment after
graduation in May. I am passionate about space and problem-solving using
programming. I have a massive code portfolio in dozens of languages over a
decade; many of my projects have thousands of monthly active users.

ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE
Capstone: Spacecraft Detail Design | Prescott, AZ | Technical Lead |
2021
Proof of concept of the viability of propulsive landings on the
surface of the Moon.
Coded from scratch a fully dynamic 6 degree of freedom simulation of
a rocket with hardware in the loop to run a simulated rocket landing
from a test stand using a real thrust vector control mechanism with
a solid rocket motor.
LQR Control system designed to throttle and control attitude of
landing vehicle designed in Simulink, then implemented in C++ to run
on hardware.
Simple Stock Bots | Phoenix, AZ | Creator | 2018-Current
Bot brings stock market information and analysis to group chats,
tens of thousands of monthly active users. Uses abstracted asset API
to manage multiple types of assets from various data sources.
Programmed in Python and uses CI/CD to build, publish, and deploy
code to a Kubernetes Cluster to push canary and stable releases to
users automatically.
