Cameron Mccoy Email & Phone Number

Broomfield, Colorado, United States

I was an intern with the Dream Chaser flight software team, where I worked on software for the maiden voyage of the Dream Chaser spaceplane.• Developed mission-critical flight software for the Dream Chaser spaceplane, writing/refactoring ~900 lines of C++.• Refactored custom data structure classes to improve efficiency.• Assisted the mission control team with debugging unexpected flight software behavior in the mission simulator.• Wrote a background daemon for developer VMs to notify developers of pull request updates via Bitbucket API.• Wrote unit tests and functional tests in C++.

Centennial, Colorado, United States

I was a flight software intern with Sierra Space working on the Orbital Reef commercial space station.• Wrote a C++ serial network interface to allow networked sensors to be used during HITL testing. HITL telemetry data was written from the flight computer to an InfluxDB database and displayed on a Grafana dashboard.• Wrote Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform & Ansible) scripts to configure virtual machines to an ESXi host and deploy Kubernetes clusters on the virtual machines for a CI/CD platform.• Automated setup and installation of device drivers for Linux-based flight computer using shell scripts.• Communicated with suppliers for avionics hardware to overcome compatibility issues.• Built a Node.js server for integrating a NASA OpenMCT dashboard with telemetry from an InfluxDB database.• Researched and outlined a security architecture for the space station utilizing the Zero-Trust Security paradigm.• Wrote new standards for technical documentation with the Sphinx documentation tool. Created Python scripts for automatically generating and formatting Sphinx documentation.

• Responsible for managing club of 500+ students spread across seven technical teams.• Manage and distribute resources including money and space across technical teams.• Maintain communication and relations with Zucrow Labs, Purdue’s rocket propulsion research lab.• Organize collaborative events with other student organizations at Purdue and other universities.• Resolved and mediated internal organization conflicts.

West Lafayette, Indiana, United States

• Led development of an STM32-based flight computer for trajectory tracking and parachute deployment.• Generated C code for Simulink Kalman filter and deployed code to flight computer for in-flight trajectory estimation.• Programmed drivers for sensors and flash memory modules in C.• Researched possible commercial and custom options for GPS tracking a rocket to 100km.

Natick, Massachusetts, United States

• Programmed UDP network port classes that support generation of C/C++ code from MATLAB code (codegen).• Redesigned codebase to support execution for both MATLAB runtime and C/C++ codegen workflows for the MATLAB Instrument Control Toolbox.• Refactored classes and interfaces to overcome limitations of MATLAB C/C++ code generation.• Designed and wrote functional tests and unit tests in C++ and MATLAB.• Qualified code and tests in a testing cluster before integrating with the master codebase.• Recreated testing environments in virtual machines to replicate errors and bug uncovered in testing cluster.• Discovered, reported, documented, and patched several software bugs.

West Lafayette, Indiana, United States

• Researching the modeling and simulation of the combustion of solid rocket propellant using a C++/Fortran program (Rocfire) to assist the development of 3D printed propellants.• Developing C++/Fortran code to model propellant packs with multiple layers of different propellants using the OpenGL graphics library.• Designed and programmed an algorithm for splitting 3D boundary shapes into user defined sectors.• Automated workflow using Bash scripts in a Linux environment.
