Hello!
I’m currently a Flight Software Engineer at Astranis Space Technologies where I write embedded software for our satellites. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with an emphasis on signal processing and machine learning. In my free time, I hack together projects inspired by new things I’ve learned or problems I see in the world. I also write articles on Medium about tech and public policy.
