Software Lead

I'm currently leading the development of ground station software for the Rocket Team student org at UMN, enabling real-time and post-flight visualization of telemetry data sent from rockets exceeding altitudes of 30,000+ feet. After joining the team as a developer my junior year (Fall '24), I was chosen to lead the software sub-team of the club my senior year (Fall '25). Responsibilities include leading development of software projects for the team, recruiting, onboarding, and managing a team of developers, and maintaining WINGS, the team's open-sourced ground station software.
