Experience
- Vigilant Aerospace
| Software Developer 12/18 - Present
- Develop detect and avoid technologies integrating ADS-B, MavLink, and Radar for piloted and unpiloted aircraft, enabling the next generation of beyond visual line of sight autonomous navigation.
- NASA, Armstrong Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, Edwards, CA
| Software Engineering Intern 06/18 - 09/18
- Worked full-time on enhanced ADS-B with phase modulation for high mach-speed, high-altitude flight, as well as artificial intelligence and computer vision for UAV autonomy in beyond visual line of sight and GPS-denied environments. Worked in
MATLAB, Java, PowerShell, and Python.
- NASA
| University of Arizona Space Grant Intern 09/17 - 06/18
- Worked for Dr. Chris Harig on noise reduction & modeling on Slepian
MATLAB project, which projects GRACE gravity data onto bases of Slepian functions of spherical harmonics in order to model the melting of the polar ice caps.
- NAU Pathogen Microbiome Institute
| Undergraduate Software Engineer 06/17 - 09/17
- Worked for Dr. Greg Caporaso on QIIME 2, a bioinformatics toolkit for microbiology. Focused on statistics using
numpy and pandas in Python3, and data visualization with a React/Redux stack in ES6 Javascript using D3.JS. Built Alpha Rarefaction visualizer.
- Kathmandu Living Labs
| Software Engineering Intern 10/16 - 12/16
- Built open-source server and client for visualization of contribution metrics for mappers on the OpenStreetMap platform in Nepal.
- RES3D & Capture Interactive
| Software Engineer 10/12 - 10/17
- Built and helped build numerous projects in
Unity3D, iOS Objective-C, ES5 Javascript, and Windows C# incorporating natural user interfaces and augmented and virtual reality systems for clients including General Electric, Fox Entertainment, The Muppets franchise, and BP. RES3D and Capture Interactive were sister companies during most of my time working at both.
