Profile

Target Scope

New Space internships in Los Angeles area: SpaceX, JPL, Rocket Lab. Roles: systems software, embedded/firmware, simulation/HPC.

Core Strengths

  • C / C++20
  • Linux + ptrace
  • Telemetry decode
  • N-body simulation
  • CUDA / OpenCL
  • FPGA (Vivado)

Positioning

10+ years Linux maker background with low-level rigor, defensive debugging, and end-to-end ownership of technical systems.

Selected Technical Projects

Directly aligned with aerospace software and mission environments.

Telemetry Software

LBR Telemetry Receiver

Long Beach Rocketry contribution: reception pipeline including demodulation, decoding, frame reconstruction, and checksum validation.

Club context

Simulation / HPC

Backlight N-body Engine

Pure C + CSFML cosmological simulator. Current performance: 1000 bodies at 30+ FPS on CPU, with extended-precision arithmetic and Octree scaling roadmap.

Media

Scientific Rendering

Relativistic Raytracer

Curved-spacetime rendering pipeline (SR to GR extension) with metric-based physics modeling and GPU acceleration experiments.

Demo 1

Low-Level Systems

Unix Tooling Reconstruction

Rebuilt core tooling (`strace`, `nm`, `objdump`) and contributed to `ftrace` to deepen ELF-level diagnostics, ptrace tracing, and process-level debugging.
