Engineering lead on the developer platform, and a senior software engineer.

I helped Australian Space Startups with their most pressing technical problems.

I was part of the Missions Software team at Planet. Our team designed, built, and operated the ground software for the world's largest constellation of satellites!At Planet I held a handful of roles:~1 year - Spaceship Captain / Software Engineer (Operations Automation)~1 year - Software Engineer (Missions Software)~1 year - Software Engineering Manager (Missions Software)Some of the projects I have worked on at Planet:Mission Control APILanguages: PythonTechnologies: Django, Postgres, OpenAPI, AWS GovCloudCollaborators: Missions Software TeamConstellation AutopilotLanguages: Python, CTechnologies: Simulated Annealing, Docker, AWS GovCloudCollaborators: Dr. Mike Rubel (core optimization engine)Power/Data/RF ModelsLanguages: Python, CTechnologies: Pandas, Docker, AWS GovCloudCollaborators: Leon StepanAutomated Model Fitting Using Spacecraft TelemetryLanguages: PythonTechnologies: Pandas, Docker, AWS GovCloudCollaborators: Leon StepanSpacecraft Configuration Store (+Client Library)Languages: PythonTechnologies: REST, Flask, Peewee, Postgres, Docker, AWS GovCloudCommand Sequence Generation for On-Orbit ActivitiesLanguages: PythonTechnologies: Flask, OpenAPI, REST, Docker, AWS GovCloudCollaborators: Aaron McGeever, Shomik Chakravarti, Rob ZimmermanValue Forecasting for Imaging Areas of Interest (Forecaster + Visualization)Languages: PythonTechnologies: Pandas, GDAL, Javascript, WebGL, Docker, AWS GovCloudCollaborators: Leon Stepan, James Mason, Cyrus Foster, Frank WarmerdamBuild System, CI Pipeline, and Job Compute InfrastructureLanguages: Python, Bash, MakeTechnologies: Docker, EC2, S3, Jenkins, Git, Slack, AWS GovCloudCollaborators: Alex Paul, Nate Parsons
