Aerospace Simulation Software Engineer with a strong foundation in both
|
|
aerospace engineering and modern software development. Experience ranging
|
|
from high-fidelity simulation models in C++, high-performance ETL
|
|
pipelines of aerospace data in Python, and managing development
|
|
environments for 100 engineers. <br />Eligible for security clearance.

<h2>PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE</h2>

<dl>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
Aerospace Applications Software Engineer | Blue Origin | Denver, CO |
|
|
June 2023 - April 2025
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Founding simulation software engineer to build a human-rated Lunar
|
|
lander in support of NASA's Lunar program.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
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>
|
|
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>
|
|
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>
|
|
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.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
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%.

Simulation Software Engineer, Advanced Programs | United Launch Alliance

| Denver, CO | May 2022 - June 2023
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
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 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>
|
|
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.
