Projects
Optical
Atomic Clock Control System Jul. 2023 - Current
Utilize Rust and various other tools to design, rapidly prototype,
deploy, and test soft realtime control system using Python and Rust with
extremely tight deadlines. Collaborate with electrical engineering team
for embedded driver control and integration. Manage distributed state
across networked nodes for servo control, monitoring, and analysis.
Deliver on extremely tight deadlines with limited hardware testing
capability.
QRF Control
System December 2023 - Current
Sole systems engineer on the project. I work closely with the team of
physicists and electrical engineers to provide high quality, performant,
command and control, PID servos, and diagnostic tools for expert
technicians to operate and diagnose QRF systems.
