Founded this company after looking back at notes I took while frustrated during Calculus classes in high school. I felt that there must be a better way to teach people this information, and we seek to provide that answer.

Chief Engineer - Small Sat Research Lab

Sep 2021 - Present
The UMn Small Satellite Research Laboratory has two current contracts with the US Air Force to build 2 similar, 3U small satellites that will be launched into orbit in 2024 and 2025 to conduct various science for NASA. I was paid full time over summer 2022 to work on a variety of tasks for the EPS team, and now am the full time Chief Engineer for the EXACT mission. Tasks included coordinating orders for space grade parts with aerospace companies, heavily modifying flight computer PCB design, minor amounts of coding in C and C++, and coordinating pinouts between satellite components. Overseeing power budgeting for different satellite modes was also included. Show less
