I enjoy working on hard engineering, math, or physics-y problems wherever
they may be.
I have a lot of experience in building control software for large, complicated
hardware systems, including testing and documentation.
Currently I work at CalTech, working a NASA project to build a telescope looking for dangerous asteroids.
I build simulation and data processing tools which simulate many millions of asteroids.
As a part of that work, I have open sourced the code here: kete - solar system simulation tools
Here is a fun animation I made using those tools:
Previously I worked at SpaceX on the Starlink satellite constellation.
I was a part of the team which handles the scheduling of ground and satellite antennas
for ~1800 satellites.
I used to do mostly experimental work, starting with big lasers:
Kilowatt IR Lasers - Working
on really big IR lasers used in all sorts of applications, from welding, to
pump diodes in telecom.
More recently (2016-2021) I worked in Quantum Computing /
Information, transitioning from hardware to software:
I worked on
Superconducting Quantum Chips
doing full stack development from hardware/FPGA interfaces up to
Python, along with hardware development.
Then I joined a startup company QB Labs,
which I worked at until it was acquired by Keysight, working on
compiler and benchmarking tools
for quantum computers.
I can be contacted through email (see below), or found on
Linkedin, or on
Github.
