BESXAR avionics
Embedded flight software, sensor and data acquisition, onboard storage, electronics integration, PCB bring-up, and environmental test for space-manufacturing hardware.
I build embedded systems for spacecraft, radios, and other hardware.
I'm an embedded / avionics engineer at BESXAR in Washington, DC. My work spans flight firmware, FPGA/DSP systems, RF, electronics, and test.
About
I like working close to the hardware, especially on systems where software, electronics, and the physical environment all matter.
Before BESXAR, I worked on embedded DSP and RF systems at Johns Hopkins APL and battery-management firmware at Tesla. I studied electrical and computer engineering at UVA and later completed an M.S. in ECE at Johns Hopkins.
Earlier work included wireless communications research, FPGA / SoC systems, quantum error-correction simulation, and electrical leadership for UVA's solar car.
Selected work
A few projects and research efforts that are representative of what I work on.
Unsupervised wireless detection
Physical-layer detection research using synchronized SDR hardware, canonical correlation analysis, MIMO experiments, MATLAB, and GNU Radio.
Peregrine
A decentralized media-authentication prototype using perceptual hashing, distributed ledgers, peer-to-peer verification, and machine learning. First place in the iDISPLA University Adversarial AI/ML Challenge.
Zynq software-defined radio
A Linux-based SDR combining a custom programmable-logic DSP chain, AXI transport, host-side C software, and real-time IQ streaming over gigabit Ethernet.
Research
Peer-reviewed work in wireless communications and signal processing.
