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.

• 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.

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.
