I am working on ground control software and edge computing solutions for our sUAS vehicles, with an emphasis on system interoperability, integration of new AI technologies, and hardware payloads for advanced mission capabilities.I am using the following core technologies and programming languages:- C/C++ and Rust in an NVIDIA Jetson (Linux) environment- Robotic Operating System 2 (ROS2)- MAVLink- .NET/WPF/C#- Python- Advanced Computer Networking and API Design- Database Design (SQLite)My other responsibilities include:- Interfacing with engineers from our international divisions and partner companies across theglobe.- Working with flight operations to test and deploy new vehicle capabilities.- Rapid prototyping and integration of partner software and hardware systems.

https://jacquesj.itch.io/https://www.youtube.com/@jacques-devI spent a year building a game studio with friends to design and develop games. My role has primarily been game design and software engineering as well as project management.Key Contributions:- Worked extensively with the Rust programming language and open source Bevy game engine Entity Component System (ECS) paradigm to develop a top-down 2D City Builder Simulator. - Proficient with Rust’s memory model and crate ecosystem to leverage 3rd party libraries.- Contributed back to Bevy 3rd party plugins, and started a YouTube channel to teach Bevy.

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20230005794I was accepted into the NASA JPL Year Long internship program to work on a new research project in partnership with the DOT and NHTSA on a comprehensive AI Assistant for next-generation First Responders. I was tasked to architect and lead the full-stack development of the frontend and backend from the ground up with a group of other interns and mentorship from Senior Engineers.Key Contributions:- Designed and built the frontend application using the Ionic framework with Angular, HTML, CSS, to work cross platform with iOS and Android, leveraging native device features and plugins.- Designed and built the backend REST API using Python Flask with a MongoDB Database (NoSQL).- Built and orchestrated the CI/CD pipelines using Docker, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions.- Managed deployment of multi-container micro-services and machine learning models to AWSEC2, ECR, ECS, Lambda, as well as trials with Azure and GCP.

I was hired by AirMap to work full time on their Enterprise iOS Application ‘Hangar’ which providesmany features for commercial drone operations. Features include fleet management, missionplanning, and generating flight plans for autonomous UAV missions.Key Contributions:- Successfully updated the generation of flight plans for autonomous drone missions and made the process highly configurable.- Worked closely with lead iOS engineer to improve and unravel large parts of the undocumented existing codebase that were abandoned by a previous engineer.- Worked through the backlog of untested code to create automated unit tests.After working full time and studying part time for a semester, I left to pursue my M.S. full-time.

I was hired by AirMap to work full time on their Unmanned Traffic Management platform for lowaltitude aircraft and UAVs. AirMap’s goal is to create the infrastructure required for the world of lowaltitude autonomous aircraft of tomorrow.Key Contributions:- Worked with a team to successfully place TensorFlow AI Computer Vision models on a drone to detect pedestrians in order to perform risk analysis and reroute flights.- Designed and built new algorithms in Python to determine if a given flight plan would remain within visual line of sight of UAV operators, and if not, to perform pathfinding to reroute accordingly.- Contributed to various parts of the AirMap iOS app, which is used by over 250,000 registered users, including adding new geo-caging and geo-fencing functionality for recreational users to create a safer airspace for all.

Lead iOS Developer for "Waves: Partial Differential Equations" for Pepperdine University Natural Science Department/Lucas Group. Waves will be released Spring 2019 for iPhone and iPad. I designed this application from the ground up following MVC standards and Coordinator Pattern. The project interfaces with a handful of third party APIs, most notably 'CorePlot' for the powerful graphing capabilities. This project gave me the chance to head and train 3 other undergraduate students who were new to iOS development. I coordinated group efforts and managed source code, and met weekly with my faculty mentor Dr. Timothy Lucas to coordinate the numerical methods used to power the graphing.
