I just really like signals and C++. Computers make waveforms go zoom. So I program them too.

SWFO: My time with SWFO was mainly occupied in verifying the entire Uplink and Downlink RF systems of the SWFO Ground Station Antennas. This picture was taken at the Wallops Island antenna site and features the 13M Parabolic Antenna manufactured by L3 Harris. The operational bands are S-Band on the uplink, and low-rate downlink and X-Band for high-rate telemetry transfer. I am glad and proud to have verified these Ground Stations for mission operation, and that they still stand.
Build it. Break it. Learn from it.
Precision, noise; punk rock.
Most work is kept private, and will remain that way. Repositories that are public are meant to showcase the work as a living resume, but ARE NOT the breadth of my work. Nor, that of my employers. 🕵🏽♂️🥷🏽
Signals go brrr
