Software Engineer II at SpaceX
Software Engineer at SpaceX
I am a software engineer with strong interests in security, systems development, and aerospace. I pride myself on my ability to pick up new skills quickly and have experience in areas of computing ranging from UI all the way through to hardware, although most of my experience relates to networks and low level systems. While I don't believe in the concept of a true full stack developer, I do believe in being able to adapt to changing roles and requirements quickly, and that is where I excel.
