Leadership
Lead diverse teams, practicing project management and team coordination, leveraging Agile methodologies and tools like Docker, Jira, and Git/GitHub.
A Computer Science major at ASU and Software Engineer at SDSL.
I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree with a concentration in Software
Engineering at Arizona State University. With a passion for both technology and aerospace, I am excited by the idea
to one day have a career that combines the two. An area that has particularly captured my fascination is telecommunications,
which is shown in the various projects that I’ve undertaken. I am currently a Software Engineer at the Sun Devil Satellite
Laboratory at ASU, where I work on the Coconut CubeSat partnered with NASA, a 1U satellite that will be launched into orbit
between 2024 and 2027.
Outside of ASU, I enjoy filling my freetime with various other projects, which includes the SatComm Optimizer and my
experience with the NASA's L’SPACE Mission Concept Academy (MCA). SatComm Optimizer is a personal project aiming to improve
satellite communication networks with computer simulations and advanced algorithms. And during my time at NASA, I worked as
a Deputy Project Manager and Computer Hardware Engineer, where I spearheaded a 12-member team of passionate university
students across the US and designed the CDH subsystem for a Mars rover mission concept.
Amongst these various experiences, I’ve obtained an in-depth knowledge of leadership, teaming, programming, embedded systems,
and various other skills and experiences that are discussed further in my skills and projects outlined below.
Through my various experiences, I developed a diverse set of skills and have outlined the highlights of my expertise below.
Lead diverse teams, practicing project management and team coordination, leveraging Agile methodologies and tools like Docker, Jira, and Git/GitHub.
Experience solving diverse software challenges using high and low-level programming languages including C/C++, Python, Java, and Assembly.
Specialized in programming ARM Cortex microcontrollers in C, managing peripherals like UARTs, I2C, SPI serial communication, and GPIO.
Experience with ground-to-flight software communications utilizing CCSDS protocols and satellite communication network algorithms.
Below, I have provided a detailed overview of my most significant projects, showcasing the skills and experiences I have gained through my diverse opportunities.
Jan 2024 - April 2024
At the NASA L'SPACE Mission Concept Academy (MCA), I led a 12-member team as Deputy Project Manager and designed the command and data handling subsystem as the computer hardware engineer for the Mars rover mission concept, Endurance. This mission concept was one of the highest scoring for the term - a rare and notable achievement.
April 2024 - Present
As a Software Engineer for the Sun Devil Satellite Laboratory at ASU, I work on the Coconut CubeSat partnered with NASA. This is a 1U satellite built to relay information from remote sensing devices back to the ASU ground station. This project was selected by NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) and will be launched into orbit between 2024 and 2027.
May 2024 - Present
SatComm Optimizer is a personal project, designed to enhance satellite communication networks by developing advanced simulation models. Taking into account factors such as bandwidth and signal latency, it utilizes sophisticated algorithms and data visualization to analyze and optimize network performance.
