About Me
I am a Software Engineer at Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems. I have a wide range of technical and non-technical skills and interests ranging from satellite hardware design to longboarding and aerial photography.
I am accustomed to working under pressure and I strive to optimize system performance in an effort to minimize development costs. I am dedicated to improving my abilities, and I am constantly working to refine my skills in order to meet my goals and crush deadlines. I am passionate about all things technical, regardless of the field of study.
I have a specific fascination with space exploration, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. Scroll down to read more about my experience, and to see some of the projects I've worked on!

Projects
Ionosphere Scintillation Explorer
Payload Interface Board
(ISX-PIB)
Joint effort with Stanford Research Institute and PolySat. I redesigned a 6-Layer PCB built as a high efficiency power supply system for multi-path power sequencing and signal isolation.
Pipelined 8-bit Processor Design
This is an ongoing personal project meant to allow me to build an understanding of computer architecture and operation. It is a simple processor architecture with plans for high performance optimization and experimental asynchronous techniques.
1976 Chevy Nova
In 2012 I knew absolutely nothing about cars, by 2014 I had performed three engine changes and a transmission swap.
My car has allowed me to hone machine maintenance and troubleshooting skills that have positively impacted my engineering performance.
