Welcome to my résumé & portfolio!
I am currently a senior software application developer at Caltech/IPAC, working on software to process data from the European Space Agency’s Euclid Space Telescope. I am also the leader of the system engineering team for NASA’s Euclid Science Data Center, which is located on the Caltech campus. In the past, I worked on the proposal team for the SPHEREx mission, which is a NASA/JPL/Caltech space telescope that successfully launched in early 2025. My Ph.D. is in theoretical / computational astrophysics, but most of my work experience has involved software development with a little bit of systems engineering thrown in for good measure. I also have a few years of teaching experience.
This website is intended to provide more detail than a standard résumé. Please explore the site to learn about my skills and experience. In many cases, clicking a keyword or phrase on these pages reveals more details. The projects page and blog contain some examples of things that I have created and articles that I have written.
Note that I am not actively seeking employment at the moment.
