Develop enabling technologies for affordable and innovative autonomous aerial delivery. Specific business roles include business development, IR&D project management, and proposal generation. My engineering roles focus on new and novel hardware design, construction, and life cycle testing for the rigorous airdrop environment. Additionally, I've designed multiple custom printed circuit boards for our products to meet mission needs.

Mountain View, California

Development and testing of robust flight software for small satellites and rovers. Includes feature tracking and version control through a git framework, function testing, and Processor In the Loop simulation. Specifically, I wrote an asynchronous serial messaging protocol into the NASA Core Flight Software (CFS) framework.

Atlanta, Georgia

Currently working on the DARPA Robotic Landing Gear for Rotorcraft Program. I design and build structural and embedded hardware as well as flight software. These development efforts led to successful ground and flight tests.
