Full-stack software engineer

I build full-stack products with live data paths — React clients, Node and Python services, Redis and MongoDB, and CI around the core logic. Experience includes mission-control software for engine hotfires, plus event-driven apps for launch and space data.

Projects built end to end.

Event-driven infrastructure, authenticated data products, and scientific pipelines — each owned from UI through services, storage, and deploy.

01Real-time full-stack application

LaunchOps

A mission-control-inspired dashboard for following upcoming rocket launches through countdown, mission details, and live webcast. The client hydrates from REST, then receives changes through Redis Pub/Sub and Socket.IO instead of polling. Behind it, a scheduled worker refreshes The Space Devs data every five minutes across MongoDB and Redis; accuracy-aware countdown logic handles uncertain launch times, with 71 automated tests protecting the domain behavior in CI.

Exoplanet Analytics

An interactive way to explore and compare more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets without depending on NASA at request time. A weekly GitHub Actions pipeline cleans NASA TAP data with Pandas into a local snapshot served by FastAPI, while a protected server-side endpoint generates mass-and-orbit interpretations with per-IP rate limiting and OpenAI key isolation.

Asteroid Tracker

A personal watchlist for browsing NASA's daily near-Earth objects, comparing relative size and hazard status, and saving favorites. Express keeps the NASA API key off the client, while Clerk JWT authentication protects user data and scopes every MongoDB read, update, and delete to the signed-in user.

Experience

Work across disciplines.

Software engineering for high-power rocketry, alongside a performance background that shaped how I lead, collaborate, and keep learning.

Rice Eclipse Rocketry

Software Engineer, Mission Control · Houston, TX

Built across the mission-control stack used during Sphinx and Proxima engine hotfires. On the operator-facing side, extended Quonkboard in React with engine-page routing and visible controller connection state; deeper in the system, implemented a double-buffered WebSocket receive path in C that transfers command payloads into a FreeRTOS queue on the STM32 engine controller.
