About Me

I'm a software engineer with a strong background in embedded systems. I consider myself a lifelong learner!


I have implemented software for flight tests and embedded systems for space navigation, and performed test equipment automation (including design and implementation of graphical interfaces). I have also conducted historiographic research! I work for Psionic, Inc. - a startup in Hampton, VA, where we're developing next-generation LiDAR systems for GNSS-denied environments.
